Marco Polo Cycling-Donckers Koffie

Marco Polo Cycling-Donckers Koffie (UCI Code: MPC) is a UCI Continental cycling team, registered in Ethiopia. The team is named after traveller Marco Polo, and has title sponsorship from Belgian coffee company Donckers Koffie.[1]

History

The idea of the team came in 1998 and in 2001 the team was registered in Hong Kong. In 2003 it became a UCI Continental team[2] and from 2005 the team was registered in China becoming the first professional cycling team from China.[3]

Li Fuyu rode with the team for two years from 2005 before joining the Discovery Channel team. This led to a partnership between the teams, resulting in the 2007 Discovery Channel Marco Polo team. In 2008, Trek became the sponsor and the name became Trek-Marco Polo. The team has a house in the Netherlands for riders.[citation needed]

After a ten-year run the team did not have a sponsor for 2013 season.[citation needed] Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'strict' not found.
