In professional road cycling, the name of a team is usually the name of the sponsor, and it can change every year. This template is used to refer to a team and make sure that the name will change correctly.

If two sponsors are used in the team name, the sponsor names are separated by an en dash. The ct template tries to use that style, although not all the team templates may be updated yet.

Linked: {{ct|name|year}}, where name is the (UCI)-code of the cycling team, and year (optional) is year.

Not linked: {{ct|name|year|nolink=yes}}, where name is the (UCI)-code of the cycling team, and year (optional) is year.

The following codes are included: (a complete list is found in Category:Cycling team data)

This corresponds to the following teams, alphabetically ordered by most recent team name:

In cycling, team names change with sponsors, and so the same team can have a completely different name in different years. For this, the year can be specified. If no year is specified, the most recent teamname is used. If a team changes names half-way a year, the two names are distinguished by adding a letter. For example, the team currently known as Tinkoff:

Code Result Note
{{ct|SAX}} Tinkoff no year specified
{{ct|SAX|1998}} home–Jack & Jones the name the team had in the 1998 season.
{{ct|SAX|1999}} home–Jack & Jones the name the team had in the 1999 season.
{{ct|SAX|2000}} Memory Card–Jack & Jones
{{ct|SAX|2001}} CSC–Tiscali
{{ct|SAX|2002}} CSC–Tiscali
{{ct|SAX|2003}} Team CSC
{{ct|SAX|2004}} Team CSC
{{ct|SAX|2005}} Team CSC
{{ct|SAX|2006}} Team CSC
{{ct|SAX|2007}} Team CSC
{{ct|SAX|2008a}} Team CSC the name the team had in the first part of the 2008 season.
{{ct|SAX|2008b}} CSC–Saxo Bank the name the team had in the last part of the 2008 season.
{{ct|SAX|2009}} Team Saxo Bank
{{ct|SAX|2010}} Team Saxo Bank
{{ct|SAX|2011}} Saxo Bank–SunGard
{{ct|SAX|2012a}} Team Saxo Bank
{{ct|SAX|2012b}} Saxo Bank–Tinkoff Bank
{{ct|SAX|2013}} Saxo–Tinkoff
{{ct|SAX|2014}} Tinkoff–Saxo
{{ct|SAX|nolink=yes}} Tinkoff the most recent name of the team, not linked.
{{ct|SAX|1998|nolink=yes}} home–Jack & Jones the name of the team in 1998, not linked.

If an unknown year is added, the template will show a bad result, for example

  • {{ct|SAX|1997}} gives [[Team Saxo Bank-Tinkoff Bank|Team Saxo Bank-Tinkoff Bank]].

If this happens, it can be that you made a mistake, or that the year is not in the template yet. If the year should be there but is not in the template, add it to the template or make a request that it should be added.
