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 UCI WorldTeam Trek–Segafredo program.^[1] Days later the team announced that Boels–Dolmans rider Lizzie Deignan would lead the team.^[2] The following month Elisa Longo Borghini (Wiggle High5) confirmed that she would also be joining the team.^[3]

In August Ina-Yoko 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, it was announced 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, and the women's team would then be known as Trek–Segafredo, like the men's.^[6]

In 2023, it was announced that both the mens and women's teams would rebrand as Lidl–Trek, thanks to sponsorship from supermarket chain Lidl. This rebrand would come into effect on June 30, prior to the Giro Donne and the Tour de France / Tour de France Femmes.^[7]
