# Klein Constantia (cycling team)

Klein Constantia (UCI team code: KLC) was a UCI Continental cycling team based in the Czech Republic and a development squad for UCI World Tour team Etixx–Quick-Step. It was set up by Patrick Lefevere in 2013.
The team was initially sponsored by Etixx, Belgian producer of supplements and nutrition products, owned by Omega Pharma, and iHNed.cz, Czech news portal, operated by Economia, Czech media company owned by Zdeněk Bakala, who owns Etixx–Quick-Step team. In 2014 Etixx became only sponsor. Since season 2015 Advanced World Transport [cs], Czech transport company, owned by Bakala, and Slovakian electric vehicle charging company, took over as title sponsors. The squad has been rebuilt with only two riders staying on board and 10 new young joining the team. In 2016, the South African wine making company Klein Constantia, owned by Zdeněk Bakala, became title sponsor.
