Born of the exciting partnership between the industry-leading bike brand and a high-performance components manufacturer, the Octto-Cervélo Team is ready to grow, ready to race and ready to win.

The OCTTO-Cervélo Team will enter it's third year in 2014 after being established in 2012. Based in Toronto, Canada, the Team rides, trains and races primarily in the Greater Toronto Area and Southern Ontario, with forays into the Northeast United States (including New York State and Michigan) and Quebec province. Primarily a road racing team, with a healthy side of track and a strong dash of cyclocross, the Team has two main and related goals: 

· Develop Elite cycling talent by supporting up-and-coming young riders in an environment where they can receive tutelage from the Team’s savvy veteran Elite mentors in the areas of training, racing, strategy, composure, comportation, professionalism, leadership and personal growth. 

· Promote the Team’s sponsored brands through the riders as brand-ambassadors and promoting the Team, it’s riders and sponsors in electronic, print and social media, networking and word-of-mouth in always professional, positive, inclusive and engaging way.

The OCTTO-Cervélo Team is much more than a high-speed advertisement. We maintain a culture of positivity and excellence that extends beyond the hardware we ride on. To support our efforts is to support the essence of cycling – dedication, cooperation and focus.
