Grasmann, who was also active as a cyclist until the end of 2018, initially focused on track cycling before the organization cooperated with an Austrian UCI Continental team in road cycling in 2018 under the name WSA Pushbikers. In 2019, the team split and the Austrian team continued to ride under the name WSA KTM Graz. In 2020, the squad became a UCI Continental team for the first time in its current form. [1]
