The 7-Eleven Cycling Team, later the Motorola Cycling Team, was a professional cycling team founded in the U.S. in 1981 by Jim Ochowicz, a former U.S. Olympic cyclist. The team lasted 16 years, under the sponsorship of 7-Eleven through 1990 and then Motorola from 1990 through 1996.

The 1996 Team had many of the cyclists that would lead the sport and continue to do so.

It was at the end of the 1996 season when Lance Armstrong was diagnosed with testicular cancer - an announcement that changed the face of the sport and the disease forever.
