The teams of the 2024 American professional peloton

With North American cycling in a sea change, every year fewer teams seem to be built in the mould of European road racing. Yet there are teams which remain and they continue to offer opportunities for American cyclists to forge careers racing in the United States and hold out hope for a revival, whether it is through road, criterium or gravel racing. 

To shine some like on those teams, we have compiled a list of several of the top-established squads and professional teams that are keeping that hope alive in the United States into one guide. This is not a definitive list of all the teams that offer racing opportunities for Americans, but they are teams that stand out in different ways.  

The complete 2024 USA gravel race calendar

Project Echelon Racing – UCI Continental

 UCI road racing, gravel racing, criteriums

Human Powered Health’s loss seems to be 

’s gain as the team now seems to hold the title of the top US professional squad. The team has been steadily growing since their beginning as the competitive off-shoot of a non-profit initiative that works with rehabilitating military veterans through cycling.

Now with a line-up reinforced with strong riders from other top US teams like Human Powered Health, L39ion and Aevolo, the team seems set to have their biggest season yet. Compared to the rest of the men’s teams on this list, Project Echelon is distinctive as they have declared their intention to focus on road races and gravel races instead of a full criterium calendar.

Team Skyline Cadence Pro Cycling – UCI Continental

Team Skyline Cadence Pro Cycling is the lowest-profile Continental team in the United States. The team has been a UCI-registered team since 2019 but has not had a significant win on the domestic scene. Skyline has sporadically raced internationally since they elevated to the Continental level, but domestically Skyline has not been one of the top teams.

That could change in 2024, as the team signed former U23 National Criterium Champion Liam Flanagan and a Tour of the Gila stage winner Alex Hoehn, two riders who have shown results that Skyline has not reached before.

Virginia Blue Ridge Twenty24 – UCI Continental

 is a long-standing domestic race team built around rider development. With the likes of Kristen Armstrong and Chloé Dygert both coming through the program, the results speak for themselves. The professional team is only one part of the larger program which also maintains a junior and U23 program to give promising young women in the United States a clear pathway to the top end of professional cycling.

This season, the team is once again filled with strong riders from around North America, including former US road champion Emma Langley who is returning from an injury-riddled season in 2023. The former EF Education-TIBCO-SVB rider will be back racing predominantly in the United States this season and will be joined by a small but strong group of women, including the four-time world champion on the track, Jennifer Valente.

Cynisca Cycling – UCI Women’s Continental

 is the newcomer to the domestic professional line-up, beginning in 2023 and immediately making an impression with strong racing performances in a diverse racing calendar that included both domestic and international racing. In 2024, that success should continue and is likely to expand into the gravel scene as well.

Last year the team dipped their toe into the gravel discipline with Anna Hicks taking a podium spot for the team at the Big Sugar Classic. While Hicks has left the team for a spot on the Denver Disruptors, Lauren Stephens comes to the team with road racing and gravel experience. Furthermore, the veteran American will be racing the Life Time Grand Prix and is likely to mix in other gravel races as well as a road calendar including races like the Joe Martin Stage Race, the Redlands Bicycle Classic and the Tour of the Gila.

DNA Pro Cycling – UCI Women’s Continental

DNA Pro Cycling is a women’s UCI Continental team that races throughout North America, South America and internationally in road races and criteriums. DNA Pro Cycling is one of the longest-standing pro teams in the United States, having started as an elite team from the Dallas area and has blossomed into one of the top women’s teams in the North American cycling scene.

Along with strong US and Canadian riders like sprinter Olivia Cummins and all-rounder ​​Sarah van Dam, the team has the current Colombian road race champion Diana Peñuela in their line-up. The mix of youth and experience should see the team continue to be one of the big forces in American racing this year.
