The SUBWAY® Pro Cycling team kicks off its North American campaign next week with the Tour of America's Dairyland.

Matt Gorter, Dillion Bennett and Tom Hubbard will fly the SUBWAY® Pro Cycling team colours in the 11 day event that starts on Thursday in Wisconsin.

The three riders will be joined by Jason Allan, Sam Horgan and Westley Gough next month for Speedweek, America’s longest running Criterium series, consisting of 17 days of races across Illinois and Wisconsin.

After Speedweek, the team’s final hit out will be The Alexian Brothers Tour of Elk Grove in the greater Chicago area.

SUBWAY® Pro Cycling’s General Manager, Hayden Godfrey, said he expected the racing to be “hot and fast with plenty of opportunities for the guys to make their mark.”

While in the United States the SUBWAY® Pro Cycling team will be based between Milwaukee in Wisconsin and Chicago, the largest city in the Midwestern US.

The team returns to New Zealand in August in time for the first race of the Benchmark elite racing series in Nelson on 16 August.
