REIGN Storm Racing dethroned for 2025 by lack of funding, ‘on pause’ for one year

With a “struggle to get the money”, REIGN Storm Racing management confirmed to Cyclingnews on Friday that the US men’s team, so dominant in North America last season, would “pause” operations this year and look at relaunching in 2026.

“With REIGN Storm, I anticipated that being a much longer deal than it was. We had another major player that was really interested in being a title sponsor, and they came in with good money and a good program, but to start building towards being a title sponsor, unfortunately, just didn’t work. We’re on pause,” Thomas Craven, team director, told Cyclingnews Friday morning.
