The opening of the official transfer window was on August 1 and teams are beginning to announce their returning and departing riders along with their new hires for 2022.
Women have two tiers - UCI Continental and UCI WorldTeams - with the latter being the highest level in women's cycling. In 2021, there were nine top-tier women's teams that included Alé BTC Ljubljana (UAE Team Emirates), Canyon-SRAM, FDJ Nouvelle-Aquitaine Futuroscope, Liv Racing, Movistar Team Women, Team BikeExchange, Team DSM, Team SD Worx and Trek-Segafredo.
There will be space for 15 WorldTeams in 2022 and teams that have applied include Jumbo-Visma, EF Education-TIBCO-SVB, Human Powered Health, Roland Cogeas Edelweiss Squad and Uno-X, that is set to launch in 2022. Teams now able to apply for a top-tier licence upon their foundation due to the amendment to Article 2.013.034 bis.
