Orange Monkey-Cannondale team hopes for continued progress in 2013

The Orange Monkey-Cannondale pro cycling team will head into its third season in 2013. Having narrowly missed out on sending two of its athletes to the 2012 London Olympic Games, the team is refocusing on the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio, Brazil. In the shorter term, it is looking to upgrade from a professional UCI mountain bike team to an elite UCI mountain bike team.
