TDT–Unibet Cycling Team is a Dutch UCI ProTeam status cycling team focusing on road bicycle racing. Bas Tietema created the team in 2023. The team upgraded from UCI Continental to UCI ProTeam status in 2024.
History
The main sponsor of the team is Unibet who sponsored a team back in 2006/2007 (Unibet.com) but because of a dispute with the UCI over gambling companies being sponsors they pulled out. Now with other teams having sponsors which are lotteries, Unibet decided to come back to professional cycling, although from 2025 teams sponsored by gambling companies will not be able to race in Belgium.
Hugo Haak joined as Team Manager in 2023 after coaching on the Track for the past few years.
The team's calendar for 2023 consisted of mostly Belgian and Dutch races. The team's biggest victory was stage 1 of the ZLM Tour by Yentl Vandevelde. Despite this success, Vandevelde was let go by the team for 2024.
Equipment
The team uses Cannondale bicycles in a bright yellow-pink colour scheme. The bike has Shimano Ultegra Di2 12 speed gearing with Scope wheels and Pirelli tires.
