Joker Fuel of Norway (UCI team code: JFN) was a UCI Continental cycling team based in Norway, [1] managed by Birger Hungerholdt with assistance from directeur sportifs Gino van Oudehove and Anders Linnestad. The team had well known riders, including Alexander Kristoff who rode for the team from 2007 to 2009,[2] and Edvald Boasson Hagen who joined the team in 2006 Maxbo–Bianchi and in his first season in the continental circuits he took eight wins including three stages of the Tour de l'Avenir.[3]

The team folded in 2020 due to financial pressures of the COVID-19 pandemic.[4]
