Java Kiwi Atlántico is a UCI Continental road bicycle racing team established in 2018. The team registered with the UCI for the 2019 season.

History edit

The team was established in 2018 by former professional cyclist Enrique Salgueiro and participated in races mainly on the European and American calendars. It practically ceased activity for the 2023 season but resurfaced at the beginning of 2024 with a new team roster and sponsorship structure as Kamen Pazin - Cabo de Peñas - Kiwi Atlántico.

In February 2024, the International Cycling Union UCI suspended the team, both its manager Enrique Salgueiro and its representative Gerardo Gúzman following allegations of falsifications and misrepresentations of official registration documents. The team was banned from registering with the UCI and declared ineligible for participation in any UCI-sanctioned event until December 2028. Salgueiro was sanctioned with "a suspension from any activity in cycling" until December 2028 and an unspecified fine, while Gúzman was banned from cycling activity until December 2025.^[1]
