Team history
editTeam Illuminate grew out of the 2015 Airgas–Safeway team that included 2013 Vuelta a España winner Chris Horner.[3] The team launched the 2016 season with success at the 2.1 rated Tour of Taiwan.[4] Later in the season the team became the first US team to compete in Iran, where US rider Connor McCutcheon captured a stage win and wore the yellow jersey in the 2.1 rated Tour of Iran.[5]
In December 2016, the organisation announced that it was adding a UCI Women's Team for the 2017 season.[6]
