History[]

Manuel Correia and Luís Pinheiro, both former road bicycle racers, founded the Bike Clube de Portugal in 2014 on the initiative to develop young riders. The club, with backing from insurance company Liberty Seguros and vehicle glass repair company Carglass, started racing the following year in the Under-23 rankings.

In 2018 the team gained UCI Continental status.[1][2]
