Norwegian team Uno-X have announced that they will be applying for a spot in the men's WorldTour from the 2023 season and for the Women's WordTour in 2022.

The squad, which started out as Ringeriks-Kraft in 2010, moved from the Continental ranks to second division ProTeam status in 2020 and will now be looking to take the next step up in two seasons' time. If successful, they would be the first Norwegian WorldTour team.
