Supporting promising young elite cyclists The SHKP Supernova Cycling Team, sponsored by SHKP, identifies young cycling talent who aspire to become professional cyclists and provides them with professional training to help them become the members of the Hong Kong Cycling Team or overseas professional cycling teams.
