Vitória–ASC (UCI code: ASC) was a Portuguese cycling team in the UCI Continental category that was formed from the association between União Ciclista de Vila do Conde and Vitória SC of Guimarães. The professional team was dissolved in 2007 due to a lack of support and investment in the team, however, continuing with basic training.[1]

History

[edit]

União Ciclista de Vila do Conde is a Portuguese cycling team that is currently only under-23 and also races predominantly in cyclocross. The team was founded in 1998, at the time under the name ASC–Guilhabreu–Vila do Conde, and was professional between 2002 and 2007 with the intention of asserting itself as a professional road cycling team.[2][3]

However, it was in the last three years, 2005, 2006 and 2007, as a professional team that it achieved the European status of UCI Continental Tour, just one category below the UCI WorldTour. The first of these three years the team operated under the name ASC–Chenco Jeans. In the following two years, the União Ciclista de Vila do Conde joined Vitória SC de Guimarães and was therefore renamed Vitória–ASC and had an initial budget of 350 thousand euros.[4][5]

During the 2000s, it tried to assert itself with a road race professional cycling team, achieving European UCI Continental Tour status.[1]

From 2008 to 2011, U.C. de Vila do Conde has continued to be associated with Vitória and only in under-23 road cycling, its most common name being ASC–Vitória–RTL.[6]

Since 2012, the team has been called ASC–KTM–Vitória in national road cycling races.[7][8][9]

It was also in 2011 that Vitória SC began cross-country cycling with an amateur team called Vitória SC–Bikeworld, participating in regional and national competitions.[10][11]
