About the overview

Only races with documented participation are included. Stages are shown once; Norwegian Championship events are shown separately. National races and national team assignments are marked separately.

This is not a complete log of all the riders' starts. Some Norwegian races and stagiaire starts with other teams remain to be verified. Planned races are not considered completed.

  1. 2000–2014

    The roots and breakthroughs

    From the club environment in Bergen to Øster Hus–Ridley and Sven Erik Bystrøm's U23 WC gold.

    Read more about the roots and breakthroughs

    The 2000s · From the club scene in Bergen

    The team originates from CK Bjørgvin. What is today called Team Drali–Repsol began as a West Norwegian team environment long before Fjords Cycling became part of the organisation.

    Erik Johan Sæbø and Njål Østerhus join the ownership side in 2009. The continuation through changing name periods shows how important it is to have people who stay around a venture, even when the riders move on.

    2012–2014 · Øster Hus–Ridley and a WC gold

    In 2012, Sven Erik Bystrøm and Fredrik Strand Galta rides for Øster Hus–Ridley. Daniel Hoelgaard is a stagiaire in the same season, not an ordinary team rider. Young riders get to compete together in a Norwegian continental team.

    Two years later, Bystrøm attacks on the final climb of the U23 WC in Ponferrada and holds off for gold. He represents Norway in the championship; The team environment is one part of the way forward. The rainbow jersey gives a clear picture of what level a rider from this environment can reach.

  2. 2015–2023

    A team to take the next step from

    New names and partners. Several riders move on, and Fjords Cycling becomes a co-owner in 2022.

    Read more about a team to take the next step from

    2015–2022 · More names, more ways forward

    The team became Coop–Øster Hus in 2015, then Team Coop from 2017. Galta goes to Delko before 2016, August Jensen to the Israel Cycling Academy before 2018, and Erlend Blikra to Uno-X before 2020.

    Fredrik Dversnes and Tord Gudmestad also take the step to Uno-X after the seasons in Team Coop. History consists of different courses of development, not one recipe. The clubs, the riders' own efforts and the environments they meet further on are also included.

    The team's background

    2022–2023 · Fjords Cycling and Repsol enter

    Fjords Cycling became a co-owner in 2022. At the same time, Repsol expanded its support for talent work, and from 2023 the team was called Team Coop–Repsol.

    Team management became part of Fjords Cycling's work alongside the events. The framework must last longer than one race: partnerships, material and administration must support sporting work throughout the season.

  3. 2024–2025

    The years that left a mark

    The memory of André Drege, changed team frameworks and Storm Ingebrigtsen's breakthrough.

    Read more about the years that left their mark

    2024 · André Drege

    André Drege lost his life after a fall in the Tour of Austria. He had been with the team for three seasons. In 2026, the team wears the symbol "171 ForAndré" in his memory.

    Storm Ingebrigtsen later spoke about the roommate who took the time to explain races and share experiences. It is an important part of the history of this environment: knowledge and consideration that passes between people, not just results that are in an archive.

    2024–2025 · A collaboration between two teams

    The women's and men's teams come together under joint administration for two seasons. At the end of 2025, they went their separate ways again. Karl Lima and Roy Hegreberg describe various ambitions and strategies for further development as the background.

    The women's team's license belongs to Hitec Professional Cycling AS. That part of history should not be mixed up with today's men's team or presented as one continuing joint organisation.

    2025 · A long day in the breakaway becomes a breakthrough

    Storm Ingebrigtsen wins the first stage of the Tour of Norway after nearly 170 kilometers in the breakaway. He has two seasons in Team Coop–Repsol behind him when the transition to Uno-X from 2026 is announced.

    Ingebrigtsen highlights both the sporting approach and what he learned from older teammates.

    A new season

    Drali and Repsol continue the investment.

    Read more about a new season

    2026 · New suit, further work

    After an uncertain autumn, Drali enters together with Repsol as name partner. Eight new riders and two who continue make up the presented season squad.

    In August, Toralf Rydningen Martinsen and Håkon Eiksund Øksnes get trial rider agreements with Uno-X until the end of the year. They are still under contract with Team Drali–Repsol. It is an opportunity to try a higher level - not the same as a confirmed permanent transfer.

Different riders. Different ways forward. The cards only show which team the riders went to immediately after their time with us - not their entire career.
