**Cult Energy Pro Cycling** (*[UCI](/source/Union_Cycliste_Internationale) team code:* **CUL**) was a professional [road bicycle racing](/source/Road_bicycle_racing) team licensed in [Denmark](/source/Denmark), that competed in the [UCI Continental Circuits](/source/UCI_Continental_Circuits). It was established in 2000 under the name of "Cycling Horsens".

On September 9, 2014, the team announced they had signed [Linus Gerdemann](/source/Linus_Gerdemann) from [MTN–Qhubeka](/source/Team_Qhubeka_NextHash) on a 2-year contract.[1] On October 10, 2014, the team announced they had signed [Gustav Larsson](/source/Gustav_Larsson) on a one-year contract [2]

In August 2015, the team seemed to secure its survival after gaining sponsorship from German company Stölting Group, which sponsored the Continental team [Stölting](/source/Team_St%C3%B6lting) in 2015. As a result, the teams planned to join forces, giving the necessary budget to ensure the team could stay in the Professional Continental tier for 2016.[3] However, in December 2015, Cult announced they would exit the sport and no longer be able to fund the team. Stölting then stepped in to fill the funding void, continuing the team under a German license.[4][5] As a result, the Danish team disbanded.
