Team Illuminate is an American UCI Continental cycling team established in 2014.[2][2]

Team history

The teams most notable signing was made at the end of the 2014 season when the team confirmed that 2013 Vuelta a España winner Chris Horner would ride for them in 2015.[3] Even with the marquee signing of Horner, the team failed to secure an invite to the 2.HC rated 2015 Tour of California[4] and then in February the start of their season was delayed due to cancellation of the Vuelta Mexico.[5]
