Faema was a professional cycling team that existed from 1955 to 1962. [1] [2] The team's main sponsor was espresso machine manufacturer Faema. [3] In 1963, the Faema and Flandria teams were merged. [4]

Contents

In 1964, Faema disappeared as a sponsor in the peloton, but they returned four years later as Faemino–Faema with great success, notably through Eddy Merckx (from 1968 to 1970). [5]
