Trek–Segafredo is a professional cycling team scheduled to compete in elite road bicycle racing events such as the UCI Women's Road World Cup for the 2019 season onwards.

History

In July 2018, Cyclingnews reported that a new UCI Women's team would be set up by the same management as the men's WorldTour Trek–Segafredo program.[1] Days later the team announced that Lizzie Deignan would lead the team.[2] The following month Elisa Longo Borghini confirmed that she would also be joining the team.[3]

In August Ina Teutenberg announced that she would be directing the newly announced team as their head directeur sportif.[4] The same month Giorgia Bronzini announced that she would retire at the end of the season and become a DS with the team in 2019.[5]

In September, news broke that the team had secured further sponsorship from the Massimo Zanetti Beverage Group, owner of the Italian coffee brand Segafredo, in a deal covering a two-year co-title partnership. The women's team will now be known as Trek–Segafredo, like the men's.[6]
