The UCI published the list of the teams which have received the WorldTour license for the 2020–2023 period: Alé BTC Ljubljana will be the one and only team representing Slovenia and Italy at the highest level of road cycling.

With Alessia Piccolo, the Alé Team and the new main sponsor BTC Company, we have worked hard to realise something that seemed difficult, almost impossible, but we reached our goal with determination. Thanks to all those who have helped us become a big team!”
