Team history

Founded in 2010 Team Raleigh–GAC's primary sponsor was the Raleigh Bicycle Company who supplied the team's bicycles. The team was also sponsored by a roster of additional sponsors[4] including GAC Logistics, Škoda Auto, Don Amott and iPro. The team competed in senior professional events in the United Kingdom and Europe, other than the Grand Tours and UCI ProTour races. For the 2011 season they expanded the team to 12 riders,[5] and in 2013 they expanded again to 14 riders.[6] In December 2013 it was announced that Bernard Hinault would work with the team in a "patron" role for the 2014 season.[7]

After the team's initial season with sponsorship by Vitus in 2018, in 2019 the team added Brother UK as a co-sponsor, with the team's official name becoming "Vitus Pro Cycling Team, Powered By Brother UK".[8]
