In September 2017, Movistar Team announced it would join the likes of Team Sunweb, Orica–Scott, FDJ and Astana in the creation of a predominantly Spanish women's team aimed at developing women's cycling within Spain.[2][3][4]

In early October 2017, the inaugural roster was announced:[5] Mavi García, Spanish national time trial champion – Lourdes Oyarbide and Lorena Llamas joining from BZK Emakumeen Bira. Alicia González Blanco, Eider Merino Cortazar and Alba Teruel Ribes joining from Lointek and with two international athletes also joining – Aude Biannic from FDJ Nouvelle-Aquitaine Futuroscope and Małgorzata Jasińska joining the team from US-based squad, Cylance Pro Cycling.[5] In the same week Rachel Neylan (Orica–Scott) was added to the line-up.[6] In November Movistar announced their final tenth rider addition to the 2018 roster, from Lointek, Gloria Rodríguez.[7]
