Uno-X Mobility

Uno-X Mobility is a Norwegian UCI ProTeam established in 2016, as a continuation of the earlier Team Ringeriks-Kraft.[2] Uno-X Mobility was initially established as a cooperation between Uno-X, Ringerike Sykkelklubb og Lillehammer Cykleklubb, and had its inaugural season in 2017.[3][4] The team is sponsored by fuel station chain Uno-X, which is part of the Reitan conglomerate.

The team held UCI Continental status until 2020, when it upgraded to a ProTeam. In September 2018, the team launched a development program, the Uno-X Mobility Development Team, which became a UCI Continental team in 2021.[5] The team was granted a wildcard spot to compete in the 2023 Tour de France and adopted custom jerseys sponsored by REMA 1000 for the race.[6] Uno-X was again invited to the Tour de France in 2024.[7]

Uno-X pursues the goal of becoming the first Scandinavian team to hold a UCI WorldTeam license for both women and men.[4] Having achieved WorldTeam-status for their women's team in 2022, the men's team seeks to gather enough points for a promotion in 2026.[8]

In January 2024, former cyclist and world champion Thor Hushovd replaced Jens Haugland as General Manager for the team.[9]
