BTC City Ljubljana (UCI team code: BTC) was a professional cycling team based in Slovenia, which competed in elite road bicycle racing events such as the UCI Women's World Tour between 2010 and 2019.[1]

Team history

At the end of the team's first season at UCI level in 2014 the Slovenian Cycling Federation awarded the team a prize for their role in the development of cycling in Slovenia, as well as, for the team's achievements in its first year – culminating in qualifying for the 2014 World Team Time Trial championships.[2][3]

For the 2020 season, the team merged with Alé–Cipollini to become new UCI Women's World Tour team Alé BTC Ljubljana.
