Riwal Cycling Team is a Danish UCI Continental cycling team based in Himmerland.[1] Riwal participates in races in many countries around Europe. The team's most popular achievements have been the Danmark Rundt, the Olympia's Tour in the Netherlands and the Okolo Slovenska. The team has 10 full-time riders. Most of the team riders are Danish but also includes Swedish, Dutch and Norwegian members. The team has one sports manager and several freelancers.

Team history

About 70 business partners support the Riwal Cycling Team by small and large sponsorships. The end of season 2013 Nikola Aistrup conquered the points in the first days of the Tour of Denmark and later he took second place in the final Post Cup department: The rider, who for years has been one of the backbones at Concordia Forsikring–Riwal has recently signed with the new team, which from 2014 ran under the Riwal name.

It was announced on 22 August 2020 that security company Securitas would step up as a co-name sponsor for the rest of the 2020 season.[2]

Due to funding issues, the team decided it would return to being a UCI Continental team in 2021 to ensure its survival, after a two-year stint as a UCI ProTeam.[3]

In this case, this template must be used for the notification. * {{alert}} ({{Contentious topics/alert}}) is used, on a user's talk page, to "alert", or draw a user's attention, to the fact that a specific topic is a contentious topic. It may only be used if the user has previously received any contentious topic alert, and it can be replaced by a custom message that conveys the contentious topic designation. * {{alert/DS}} ({{Contentious topics/alert/DS}}) is used to inform editors that the old "discretionary sanctions" system has been replaced by the contentious topics system, and that a specific topic is a contentious topic. * {{Contentious topics/aware}} is used to register oneself as already aware that a specific topic is a contentious topic.
