For a second year in a row, Yoeleo Test Team p/b 4MIND have registered an international roster as a UCI Continental Team. The team, based out of Montreal, was born with the idea to destigmatize mental health struggles within the athlete population and motivate our communities to use cycling and sport as a means of prevention of many mental health ailments.

Our international calendar allows us to broaden the scope of this message not only through our stops on the UCI America Tour, but through other stops on our calendar which spans Europe and Asia. 4MIND Project is a non-profit that raises funds for the Quebec Suicide Prevention Centers through their sporting activities. 4MIND Project also organizes a bi-annual fundraiser push to motivate our community to partake in different sporting challenges.

From a sporting perspective, our 2022 is bolstered with many new signings including Nicolas Côté, reigning champion of the prestigious Mardis Cyclistes de Lachine. With many of our new signings having scored some UCI points in a limited 2021 calendar, we are confident of our ability to compete on all terrains and race situations. Yoeleo Test Team p/b firmly believes in allowing athletes of all ages the opportunity to progress holistically through the sport of cycling and maintains its stance as a development team not solely focused on the U23 ranks.

We would like to thank Yoeleo Canada Inc. for their continued support in allowing our athletes to grasp UCI race opportunities which are difficult to come by in Canada. Yoeleo Canada Inc., a provider of high quality carbon bicycles, has an associative mission to put more people on bikes at an accessible price with their direct to consumer e-commerce model.

"We are slowly building this program to be a reference for any Canadian cyclist wanting to dabble in European racing. We believe that periodic exposure to the European calendar while still maintaining our solid support to the North American event is the way to grow the sport in North America. It is very important for us to offer athletes a way to stay home as much as possible while travelling periodically to test themselves against the best in UCI 1.2 and 2.2 races internationally. Data shows us that the best predictor of progression of an athlete is the number of hours racing UCI caliber events so that is our sole focus" - Dominic Hamelin, head manager.
