Rally Cycling: New look, new sponsor for former Optum outfit

The UCI’s top-ranked Continental team in the Americas will have a new look and a new title sponsor for 2016. Optum-Kelly Benefit Strategies will be known as Rally Cycling in the new season.

“Cycling is a fantastic way to improve one’s health, both for lifestyle enthusiasts and professionals,” said David Ko, Rally Health’s president and chief operating officer. “We are inspired by these athletes, and know their stories will help motivate Rally users to stay active. The team’s dedication and commitment to excellence and healthy living are admirable. The team embodies the Rally Health mission and, together, we want to inspire people to be active and make better, more informed decisions about their health.”
