In 2022 Ryder was looking for riders to race for his team in 2022.[4] The team was formed with riders who already rode for UCI WorldTeams plus some riders from the second and third divisions.[5] Retired professional Vincenzo Nibali joined as the team's technical advisor.[6] In December 2022, Union Cycliste Internationale announced that Q36.5 Pro Cycling Team was granted a UCI ProTeam licence for 2023 season.[7]
