Bridgestone–Anchor (UCI Team Code: BGT) is a continental cycling team based in Japan that participates in UCI Continental Circuits races. The team's history can be traced back to 1964, but its current incarnation started in 2008. For the 2012 season the team made a major change, adding several non-Japanese riders and running half their races outside Japan.[1] For 2013, they signed Damien Monier, a French stage winner at the Giro d'Italia.[2]
