UCI will launch Women ProTeam division in 2025

Women's cycling will have a new division for professional cycling teams in 2025. In that year, ProTeams will enter the peloton.

The introduction of this division, which is positioned between the existing UCI Women's WorldTeams and UCI Women's Continental Teams, was initially planned for the 2026 season. "However, due to the current growth in women's cycling and after consultation with stakeholders, we have decided to bring forward the launch by a year."
