Cycling teams are groups of cyclists who work together to compete in races. Each team typically consists of several riders, a team manager, and support staff. The riders have specific roles, such as sprinters, climbers, or domestiques, who help their teammates by providing support during races. Teams often represent professional cycling organizations and can compete in various events, including road races and stage races. These teams are essential in professional cycling, as they strategize to maximize their chances of winning. They often wear matching uniforms and ride similar bicycles, which can be sponsored by companies like Specialized or Trek. Successful teams can gain recognition and sponsorships, contributing to the sport's growth.
