After five years at Continental level, US-based Aevolo cycling team announced they will drop down from the pro level and race in 2022 as a domestic elite squad. The squad will continue as a development programme and will return just three riders for its roster of nine next season, the team announced on Thursday.

Returning to Aevolo are Americans Aidan McNeil and Gabriel Shipley along with Canadian U23 time trial champion Tristan Jussaume. The new riders are all from the US and include Cole Lewis, who won the California road race state championship as a Cat 2 rider, Sean Guydish, Cooper Johnson and a trio of 18-year-olds, Matthew Warren, Tobias Klein, and Luca Scuriatti.
