The team is based in Guam but is part of Equipe CMI, which has cycling and triathlon clubs in the United States and France. [1]
It is closely tied to EuroCyclingTrips, which offers cycling tours in Europe guided by current and former professionals such as Siméon Green and David McKenzie.

Since 2022 the Sports Directors have been ex-Team riders Mathieu Perget of France and John Delong of USA.
In 2024 the team partnered with bicycle manufacturer Yoeleo who joined as a second naming rights sponsor, meaning the team name was officially changed to EuroCyclingTrips - Yoeleo and the team's UCI code was changed to ECT. [3]
