Klein Constantia (UCI team code: KLC) was a UCI Continental cycling team based in the Czech Republic and a development squad for UCI World Tour team Etixx–Quick-Step. It was set up by Patrick Lefevere in 2013.[2]
The team was initially sponsored by Etixx, Belgian producer of supplements and nutrition products, owned by Omega Pharma, and iHNed.cz, Czech news portal, operated by Economia, Czech media company owned by Zdeněk Bakala, who owns Etixx–Quick-Step team.
