Team History

Hess Cycling Team was established in 2023 as a professional women's road cycling team. In 2025 the team secured a three-year sponsorship agreement with OFX. ^[1] Initially, the team raced under a Luxembourg license before transitioning to a British racing license in 2024. Owned by Rolf Hess, under Hess Sports Group, the team aspires to become the first British Women's WorldTour team. The organisation is focused on expanding its presence in both domestic and international races, aiming to build on its initial successes and attract additional talent. ^[2]
