The highly successful British UCI Continental team AT85 Pro Cycling - formerly known as WiV SunGod - has collapsed due to last minute sponsorship issues, Cycling Weekly can reveal.

Multiple sources have confirmed to Cycling Weekly that the team's riders and staff were told last night that the team was unable to continue.

A statement released on social media this afternoon confirmed the news, and cited “funding issues” and “an increasingly uncertain banking and finance sector” as the main reasons behind the team’s situation.
