NFTO Pro Cycling (UCI team code: NPC) were a British UCI Continental cycling team,[1] until October 2016.[2] According to the team's website, 'NFTO' stands for 'Not For The Ordinary'.
Founded in 2014 the team were planning to become a UCI Professional Continental team in 2016.[3] However this change of status did not occur, and in October of that year it was announced that the team's sponsor would cease to support the team, and that the team's manager Tom Barras would set up a successor team with UCI Continental status.[4] In December Barras confirmed that the new team would not race after the squad's prospective sponsor pulled out.[5]
