[4] The team was formed with riders who already rode for UCI WorldTeams plus some riders from the second and third divisions. [5] Retired professional Vincenzo Nibali joined as the team's technical advisor. [6] In December 2022, Union Cycliste Internationale announced that Q36.5 Pro Cycling Team was granted a UCI ProTeam licence for 2023 season. [7]
