LIDL - TREK

Lidl–Trek is an American-Italian team financed by a supermarket chain and a bicycle brand. It shares everything (staff, equipment and jerseys) with its male counterpart. The structure is one and the same despite the fact that the men's team was established well before the women's one (2011 versus 2019). The women's team has competed at the highest level since its inception. Fifth in the UCI Ranking in its inaugural season, it finished at the top of the table in 2020, led by Elizabeth Deignan, Ellen Van Dijk and Elisa Longo Borghini, who left in 2025 to join UAE Team ADQ.

Lidl–Trek turned the page on its iconic campionissima thanks to another Italian champion, Elisa Balsamo (who had joined the squad in 2022 after earning her rainbow stripes), and a roster deeper than the Mariana Trench. The Kiwi Niamh Fisher-Black was its top performer in the most recent Tour de France Femmes avec Zwift (fifth). Her team is determined to propel her to unprecedented heights, while a new generation featuring talents of the calibre of Isabella Holmgren and Fleur Moors is already knocking on the door.
