Cycling Canada will also count four UCI Continental and Women's Road Teams - H&R Block Pro Cycling, Garneau-Quebecor, Silber Pro Cycling and SAS-MACOGEP, the only Canadian UCI Women's Team. Canada is expecting more good results this year, with Silber Pro Cycling finishing second in the UCI America Tour ranking in 2016.

In other disciplines, Canada will also be working with four Mountain Bike UCI Teams - Cannondale-3Rox Racing (XCO), Norco Factory Racing (DH), Norco Factory Team (XCO) and Pivot Cycles - OTE (DH).

Trade Teams affiliated with Cycling Canada will receive benefits from organizers on the Cycling Canada Calendar, including free expo space at Canadian Championship and Canada Cup events. Cycling Canada encourages Canadian Organizers to give priority invitations to Canadian UCI and Cycling Canada Trade Teams to events on the Cycling Canada International and National Calendar when available. The NSO will also promote its Trade Teams through public relations efforts, social media and the Cycling Canada website.

"It's very exciting to see the list of affiliated Canadians teams for the 2017 season. It is a very encouraging sign of commitment to see these teams and their partners support Canadian athletes who aim to reach international podiums. Trade Teams have such an important role in our ability to support and develop Canadian athletes" said Mathieu Boucher, Director of Performance Development at Cycling Canada.
