Riders' 2012 teams edit

One-day races edit

Spring classics edit

The teams first ever race was the Grand Prix d'Ouverture La Marseillaise on 27 January, where Wyss and Brändle both finished with the bunch.[8] At the 1.2 race Tour de Berne IAM had five people in the top ten, with Marcel Wyss winning the race 13 seconds ahead of Sébastien Reichenbach and 15 seconds ahead of Rémi Cusin and Matthias Brändle.[9] Reto Hollenstein finished sixth.[9]

Fall races edit

Stage races edit

The 2013 Tour of Qatar was the teams first ever stage race. Martin Elminger finished second on the first stage, but lost his place in the general classification the next day. Heinrich Haussler finished fifth on stage three and ninth on stage five. The team did well at the Tour Méditerranéen in February, with Matteo Pelucchi finishing second on the first stage, letting him ride in the white jersey on stage two as the leader of the young rider classification.[10] Thomas Löfkvist finished fourth on the second stage[11], and sixth on stage four which placed him in the green points jersey and only two seconds behind leader Maxime Monfort of RadioShack–Leopard.[12] On the final stage Löfkvist lost the points jersey to Jürgen Roelandts of Lotto–Belisol but took over the lead and won the overall classification. Gustav Larsson finished eight and Stefan Denifl eleventh overall, and IAM won the teams classification ahead of Androni Giocattoli–Venezuela.[13] circuit de la s[14]

Grand Tours edit

As an UCI Professional Continental team IAM Cycling was not automatically granted the right to participate in any of the three Grand Tours. The team was considered by race organiser Amaury Sport Organisation for a Tour de France invitation, but ultimately was not invited.[15][16] They did not receive an invitation to the Giro d'Italia or the Vuelta a España either,[17][18] but were invited to Milan – San Remo and Il Lombardia by Giro race organizer RCS Sport instead.[18]
