The newest American team on the block, Modern Adventure,<\/a> continues to go from strength to strength, signing some big names for the 2027 season. Having had a break-out debut year, the team, headed by George Hincapie<\/a>, has boosted its ranks to 25 riders. National champions join the ranks at Hincapie’s Modern Adventure\u00a0Last week, the team announced the signing of four riders<\/a>, boosting their debut roster of 21 to 25.<\/p>\n

German Jonas Rutsch will join the American team, having cycled with WorldTour teams since 2020. The 28-year-old will bring his experience with him to the budding ProTeam.<\/p>\n

Also joining the ranks is American youngster, and former U23 road champion Owen Cole. The 22-year-old, from North Carolina, won the title in 2023. He came fifth in this year’s U23 World road race, and second in the time trial.<\/p>\n

Most recently, Modern Adventure announced the signing of Josh Burnett, a Kiwi rider who has spent the last two seasons at Burgos Burpellet BH. Burnett, 26, is a GC rider who is decent on the mountainous and hilly stages.<\/p>\n

Will Quinn Simmons ever join Modern Adventure?\u00a0Quinn Simmons<\/a> is among the biggest of American names in cycling at the moment. The 25-year-old Coloradan is three time US national champ, and a strong supporter of the American cycling scene.He has, for a long time, been linked by rumours to Hincapie’s new team. However, Simmons has a contract with Lidl-Trek<\/a> until 2029, having been with the team since 2020.<\/p>\n

It is therefore highly unlikely that he will break his long-term contract, especially for a move to a lower ranked team. Recently, rumours surrounding the American’s move have died down.<\/p>\n

What is next for Hincapie’s blossoming team?<\/p>\n

As well as signing four new names, Hincapie’s squad will seemingly retain all 21 of the riders who debuted the team. As of late October, no rider has announced a departure from the American team.<\/p>\n

Hincapie, has his sights set on the Tour de France in years to come. <\/a>The team, who are ranked 14th out of 16 ProTeams have some work to do there, but have already had a promising season.<\/p>\n

In the 2026 season, the team were given a Paris-Roubaix wildcard, as well as taking wins in the Tour of the Gila, and the Tour de Wallonie.<\/p>\n
