Strong Continental team Leopard TOGT Pro Cycling folds at the end 2023 after failing to find backing to step up to ProTeam level
CyclingSaturday, 04 November 2023 at 10:00
2023 has been the final season for Leopard TOGT Pro Cycling. This decision comes after careful consideration by the team’s management after not being able to find additional funds to make the step up to the UCI ProTeam level.
"We had great hopes of finding a third big sponsor. Possibly from Denmark, since the sport of cycling has grown here a lot after the Grand Départ in Copenhagen, and of course the two Danish Tour de France wins of Jonas Vingegaard. We hoped to become a Danish-Luxembourgish stepping stone between the UCI Continental and UCI WorldTeam level, but unfortunately there were insufficient leads to make this happen. This lack of funds is the one and only reason why the team decides to step down and say the world of cycling farewell," states Mogens Tveskov, CEO of Leopard TOGT Pro Cycling.
Markus Zingen, Team Manager of Leopard TOGT Pro Cycling adds: "It was of course not easy to combine two well-established teams into one, but we made it happen. Since day one, the Danish and the Luxembourgish core were on the same wavelength, which led to the amazing season we had. We can claim that the merger was a very great success, which made the decision to pull the plug not any easier."
Being not able to find the much needed additional sponsor, 2023 marks the end on an era for Leopard and TOGT, with both having been part of cycling for many years.

- I think you overestimate scientific knowledge and for sure the spreading of it. There are huge numbers of people in similar situations, if there were an easy solution somebody would be making big money out of it. Nerve pain can have many complex origins or be due to complex combinations of reasons. Even if you discover a reason there is not always a solution. Migraines haven’t been solved either. I have had lower back/hip nerve pains on and off for over 30 years, no kind of doctor has ever found a way to reduce, prevent or solve the problem. It may just be that some people are born with nerves that are too short or get twisted out of position during certain movements.Mistermaumau22-12-2024
- Amazing ride by her and very promising for her future. On a side note, it’s a bit worrying all these wins riders have after emotional moments in their lives, someone will come up with emotional doping at some point. Maybe give them fake news just before a big race to get hormones pumping.Mistermaumau22-12-2024
