Profile
editTeam IG–Sigma Sport are sponsored by the IG Group, a financial derivatives company, and Sigma Sport, a bicycle and triathlon retailer. The team rode senior professional events in the United Kingdom and Europe, other than the Grand Tours and UCI ProTour races. Sigma sports was directed by Matthew Stephens.
Team IG ended their backing for the team after the 2013 season, and as the team were unable to find a new co-sponsor, they were not able to continue into 2014. However, Sigma Sport pledged to continue to search for a new sponsor in order to return to competition in 2015.[4]
