Cynisca Cycling is urging for $1 million in sponsorship before August 15 to elevate from Continental to ProTeam status. This funding is crucial for the team’s goal of an invitation to the 2026 Tour de France Femmes. General Manager Robin Farina highlighted the need for a larger development squad to properly train riders instead of relying on immediate exposure to top-level races. The team operates out of France with plans for a feeder team and a ProTeam, which would enhance rider stability and development opportunities.
