All the bikes and component the Women’s WorldTour teams are riding <\/p>

Women\u2019s pro cycling continues to be on a roll, buoyed by the return of the multi-day Tour de France Femmes in 2022. There\u2019s now a women\u2019s version of all the grand tours, albeit over shorter distances and fewer stages.\u00a0<\/p>

It\u2019s not just about the big races though, with early-season Classics also having women\u2019s races and many offering equal prize money to the men\u2019s races. Pay for professional women cyclists has also risen significantly, at least in the Women\u2019s WorldTour. But riders in lower-ranked teams are often still struggling.<\/p>

The lower barriers to entry continue to attract sponsors to the Women\u2019s WorldTour and many men\u2019s teams now have a women\u2019s equivalent. There\u2019s more diversity in equipment suppliers reflecting this, as shown below, although Women\u2019s WorldTour teams are not riding inferior equipment to the men.<\/p>

Next is a summary of trends and changes in the Women\u2019s WorldTour, followed by a detailed run-down of the bikes and components raced by each team.<\/p>

Sponsor swap-outs<\/h2>

Two women\u2019s teams have left the WorldTour for 2024, EF Education-Tibco-SVB, which has disbanded (its de facto replacement, EF Education-Cannondale is currently a UCI Continental team), and Liv Racing TeqFind, which has merged with Liv-AlUla-Jayco. <\/p>

Their places have been taken by AG Insurance-Soudal Team, the homologue of the men\u2019s Soudal-QuickStep, and Ceratizit-WNT Pro Cycling.<\/p>

Some title sponsors have changed, but most teams have the same names on their jerseys as last year.<\/p>

One sponsor name change is Roland Cycling, which has lost its Israel-Premier Tech co-sponsorship. This was announced in December 2023, with the team saying the change was the result of a difference in vision for its future. The team\u2019s equipment sponsors haven\u2019t changed though.<\/p>

Human Powered Health was riding Felt<\/a> bikes in 2023. But in late 2023, Felt was put up for sale due to what its Austrian owner called difficult economic conditions. Factor Bikes<\/a> has stepped in to provide its Ostro VAM and O2 VAM to the team, its second Women\u2019s WorldTour outfit, alongside Roland.\u00a0<\/p>

Elsewhere, name changes in the women\u2019s teams reflect those in the equivalent men\u2019s teams for Team DSM-Firmenich PostNL and Team Visma | Lease a bike.<\/p>

No Campagnolo, but plenty of SRAM<\/h2>

There\u2019s no Campagnolo representation in the women\u2019s peloton again this year or, for the first time, in the men\u2019s. That\u2019s despite Campagnolo launching its latest Super Record Wireless<\/a> electronic groupset last year.\u00a0<\/p>

Campagnolo\u2019s website states that \u201cCampagnolo\u2019s history and heritage come from professional cycling. Sponsoring professional teams is not only a promotional tool but the fundamental terrain for developing and testing products in the most extreme conditions\u201d. <\/p>

It will be interesting to see if the brand returns to team sponsorship in the future.<\/p>

Meanwhile, SRAM<\/a> continues to provide groupsets to six Women\u2019s WorldTour teams, one down from 2023, with Shimano supplying eight of the remaining nine teams. That\u2019s in contrast to the men\u2019s WorldTour, where 14 of 18 teams run Shimano Dura-Ace<\/a>. <\/p>

Ceratizit-WNT Pro Cycling is using the FSA K-Force WE<\/a> electronic groupset, the only WorldTour women’s or men’s team to do so.<\/p>

As with the men\u2019s WorldTour, teams get the best that\u2019s on offer from their sponsors, including brands\u2019 top-spec bikes, groupsets and wheels. Here\u2019s a summary table of who is riding what this year, with more detail below.<\/p>
