The Marco Polo Cycling Team will be racing all over the world again in 2010. Following the decision of main sponsor Trek Bikes to step down, it seemed fielding a team in 2010 would be a tough call for the Marco Polo Cycling management, but with new support coming in from Museeuw Bikes and FFWD wheels, the team will continue to be a platform for the support and development of young riders from non-traditional cycling countries.

The main sponsor position of the Chinese-registered team is still to be filled and available. Nonetheless, the team will race the biggest races in Asia (including Langkawi, QinghaiLake and Hainan) and spend a couple of months competing in Europe. The first race of the team will be the Mumbai Cyclothon in India, with the Tour de Langkawi following shortly after that.
