Hagens Berman Jayco is a UCI Continental cycling team based in the United States. It was founded in 2009, originally as a feeder team for Team RadioShack. The team initially competed at UCI Continental level before stepping up to UCI Professional Continental status in 2018. It returned to UCI Continental level in 2020.
The squad is managed by 2000 Belgian National Road Race Champion and 2004 Olympic Road Race bronze medallist Axel Merckx and 2008 Tour of Utah winner Jeff Louder.
The team has traditionally focused on developing young riders, with many of its wins coming in under-23 races and junior national championship events. Riders contracted to the team have won the elite men's road race titles in the United States and Ecuador.
Former rider Tao Geoghegan Hart was the 2020 Giro d'Italia champion. Other former members of the team to win Grand Tour stages include Taylor Phinney, Alex Dowsett, George Bennett, Joe Dombrowski, Jasper Stuyven, Jasper Philipsen, Ruben Guerreiro, Ben King, Jhonatan Narváez, João Almeida and Eddie Dunbar.
In April 2017, team rider Chad Young died at the age of 21 from injuries sustained in a crash at the Tour of the Gila.
