The Trek-Segafredo women's team will have two groups of athletes participating in different training camps over the next few days as they prepare for the resumption of the 2020 race season following a suspension of competition due to the coronavirus outbreak.

As announced by the CCC-Liv, Trek-Segafredo will be racing in Emmacmén-Nafaroaca Classicoa on July 23, Clasica Navarra de Feminas on July 24, and 26, prior to the first UCI Women's World Tour race of the season when it resumes. Durango Durango Emacmén Sarria on the 24th and 26th respectively: before that, Lucinda Brand, Lizzie Deignan, Lauretta Hanson, Letizia Paternoster, Ellen Van Dyke, Abi Van Twisk and Trixie Wolak will be in the Basque Country, Spain next week for a training camp. They will attend a training camp in the region. Elisa Longo Borghini, Audrey Cordon-Lago, and Anna Plikta are already training at high altitude in the Italian Dolomites and San Pellegrino with Trek Segafredo men's team members.

"We have decided to have a more extensive training camp in the Basque Country in order to participate in three races in the Basque Country at the end of July," sport director Ina Toitenberg said on the team website Wednesday.

"Since many of the riders have not seen each other for a long time, this camp will be an opportunity to regroup and get used to the new health procedures we have to implement due to the coronavirus pandemic," she said. [Before the Giro Rosa (September 11-19), we know that Elisa likes to train at high altitude. She just came from high altitude and enjoys training in that environment. Anna also has some experience with this training, so we thought it would be a good opportunity for the girls to train at altitude." [Trek Segafredo and the athletes will be busy targeting the World Tour Stage Race Giro Rosa and the Boels Ladies Tour (September 1-6) before the World Championships at the end of September.

"There will be some overlap, but that's to be expected when you condense a six-month race into three months. Until then, it's going to be pretty stressful and busy, but I think we're all happy to be back racing."
