Atlantic-LottoMillions (formerly OIVP Cycle) is a Brunanter professional road-race cycling team, one of the most successful in Brunant. The team competes in the ACW Tour and UCI Europe Tour, and was formed in 2005 by Anders Meersk and others.
History[]
OIVP[]
OIVP was first founded and led by Anders Meersk. It was sponsored by the Organization for the Improvement of Visual Impairment, a charity helping the blind. OIVP Cycle has won three Tour Brunant events, in 2008, 2011 and 2016. The team acquired Eric Vandervelde as its key rider, who would have a decade of success.
The team's future was in doubt ahead of the 2019 ACW Tour, with team funding largely unavailable, and OIVP looking to end its sponsoring. At the start of 2019 there was a search for a sponsor, but due to lack of funds they did not contest the Tour of Harud and the Trofeo Lamedina. On 25 February the team announced Atlantic Cycle Co. and LottoMillions as sponsors, and that they would compete in the Coppa della Terra Nostra in order to be able to continue in the season.
Atlantic-LottoMillions[]
The team will ride the 2019 season in new Atlantic A1 bicycles, the first to be competitively used from that company since the Atlantic Cycle until 1981.
The team is using a simple blue jersey for the first few races, but will introduce a newer one for the latter part of the season. Both jersey designs will feature dark and light blue colors with some white.
