Another Year Sponsoring China Glory Cycling (CT)

2023 CGC Team Bikes

Another Year

This year Elitewheels will continue to be the proud sponsor of China’s most successful cycling team, China Glory Continental Cycling Team.

Since it’s team’s first race in early 2022 at the Presidential Tour of Turkey, China Glory has gained foothold in professional cycling. In that first race, rider Sean Bennett of the US scored 50 UCI points for the team.

The 2022 Season

Throughout the 2022 racing season, a number of other riders including Lucas De Rossi, Willie Smit, Matteo Malucelli, and Etienne Van Empel all had great results in races like Petronas Le Tour de Langkawi, Turul Romaniei, the Arctic Race of Norway, and the Tour of Slovenia. Chinese team members Changquan Xu and Nazaerbieke Bieken both participated in the World Road and MTB Championships.

None of this would be possible without the support of the mechanics, staff, and other supporting riders.
