Favorite pro cycling team?
#1
Is there any pro team that you follow as a fan and what is the reason?
I don't sense the same belonging or emotional attachment to specific teams -> in contrast to football, basketball or other team sports where you can be attached to a single team for years or even decades.

Got your point quite clearly, and I believe it's because of the ever changing sponsorships. Team names change so often, teams merge and dissolve. Another factor is that the cycling fans are more into particular riders or a set of riders, such as the climbing Colombians. Most often the reasoning behind being a fan of some team is the geographical factor or nationality.

But in my case, I'll just always follow Sagan Big Grin

Yeah I silently support German teams a tiny bit more -> Bora & Sunweb now and Telekom years ago or German riders like Martin, Greipel, Kittel, now Ackermann and co
