Robin Carpenter will move from Holowesko-Citadel to Rally Cycling for 2018 and 2019 as the US team announced its first new signing with the intent of joining the Pro Continental ranks next season.
Carpenter, 25, rode for the Hincapie-owned Continental team since 2013, winning multiple national calendar events along with stages at the Tour of Utah, the USA Pro Challenge and the overall victory at the 2016 Tour of Alberta.
"I'm always trying to push myself as a rider and never settling for a result," Carpenter said in a statement released with the team's announcement.

"Rally is one of the most professionally run programs in America, and their two-year commitment to me was a huge draw," he said. "I had some great years on Holowesko-Citadel and I am thankful for their support. Right now I am looking forward to this next step in my career."
Carpenter joins Rally's Evan Huffman as the only two riders announced for the 2018 team so far.
Carpenter scored his first major win at the 2015 USA Pro Challenge, soloing into Crested Butte on a wet and wild day. He added a stage win at the Tour of Utah in 2016 and then followed that up with the overall win at the Tour of Alberta.
