As we have reported on Cyclingquotes.com this morning, the finalized list of American-based UCI-licensed teams was yesterday confirmed by USA Cycling, while today one out of 10 listed Continental level teams – Hincapie Sportswear Development Cycling Team, has announced on their official website the roster for 2014 season, strengthened by returns of two riders achieving respectable results on the domestic arena.

The final 2014 roster of UCI Continental level Hincapie Sportswear Development Cycling Team has been finalized with returns of two doubtlessly successful riders from the domestic arena: two-time U23 American National Criterium Champion Ty Magner and the runner-up in 2013 NRC final standings Joey Rosskopf, both previously riding for Type 1-SANOFI team (Novo Nordisk).

Those announcements stand right in line with main goals of the team supported by Rich and George Hincapie and Mark Holowesko, defined as remaining competitive on both domestic and international arenas, improving upon the 2013 season which turned out to be so far the most successful, and – in a longer perspective – building the future of cycling by supporting cycling’s next generation, as it stands on  Hincapie Sportswear Dev Cycling Team official website.

Thanks to their consistency throughout whole 2013 year, it has been the best season in the history of American-based Continental level team supported by Geogre Hincapie, while they managed to achieve several notable results including Magner's criterium championship, victory by Robin Carpenter at Puivelde Kermis, the general and team classification overall at Paris Arras, or Criterium win, 1st and 2nd place on final stage and 2nd General Classification of Cascade Cycling Classic.

"It's hard to pick one or two highlights from 2013 because we achieved significant results through the entire season, and at both national and international levels," said Thomas Craven.

"Winning another national championship and finishing second in the NRC standings sets the bar high for 2014 and gives our riders the confidence to know they can compete at the top levels of the sport."

The team is holding a training camp in Greenville in February as it prepares for first major objective of the season, the Redlands Cycling Classic. Fleetwood RV and Freightliner have joined the team as official vehicle partners which will be unveiled at the camp

For 2014 the team will ride Felt bicycles, with the manufacturer to provide FC framesets for road races and criteriums and the DA1 for time trials. Hincapie Sportswear will once again provide clothing to the team.

"We are thrilled to be working with the Hincapie Sportswear Development Cycling Team and look forward to an exciting North American racing presence with them," says Doug Martin, Felt's Sports Marketing Director.

"Working with and developing emerging talent is something Felt has always thrived on, and with the Hincapie development program we have an opportunity to get behind something very special. This team fits right into what Felt has always stood for and we are really looking forward to 2014 together."

The Hincapie Sportswear Development Cycling Team 2014 roster consists of: Alder Martz, Ty Magner, Joey Rosskopf, Joe Lewis, Oscar Clark, Robin Carpenter and Thomas Wrona. New to the team are Charlie Hough, Jake King, Toms Skujins, Alexander Ray, Dionne Smith, Miguel Bryon and Joe Schmalz.
