With the CCC Team folding at the end of 2020, and the team's parent company Continuum Sports and its WorldTour licence being taken over by the Circus-Wanty Gobert organisation Want You Cycling, riders are scrambling to find teams in an ever-tightening job market. For American Joey Rosskopf, 31, his career rescue came in the form of another orange-clad outfit, Rally Cycling.

The American ProTeam has been making steady inroads into Europe of late, and recently announced the renewal of title sponsor Rally Health to ensure the squad's near-term future. Before Rosskopf, the team announced the signings of another American, Keegan Swirbul, and Dutchman Arvin de Kleijn.
