“When you see a Toronto Hustle jersey this year you can count on us playing a big role in the race. We’re here to win and turn some heads along the way,” Matteo Dal-Cin said. “We learned a lot last year stepping up to the UCI professional ranks and we’re building on those learnings with new talent and operational structure.”

The team will once again be focusing on the Union Cycliste Internationale (UCI) calendar in support of the team’s commitment to the professional racing scene in North America, in addition to lining up as the only foreign team in the National Cycling League. Toronto Hustle will also be racing gravel events across North America.

Community involvement continues for 2023

Toronto Hustle has been involved in the  community since its inception, both on and off the bicycle. The team has been involved in a variety of ventures, including raising nearly $1 million for front-line healthcare workers and mental health support, as well  as $150,000 for Lyme disease research.

“We are really proud of the continued success of our women’s gravel program, community involement and road safety initiatives that make our program about more than just race results. We’re about building community, creating safer streets and getting more people on bikes,” Ben Baker, Toronto Hustle director said.
