Lampre (UCI team code: LAM) is an Italian road bicycle racing team competing in the UCI ProTour. It was known in 2005 as Lampre-Caffita, a fusion of the previous Lampre and Saeco teams. Lampre is an Italian manufacturer of prefinished steel sheet materials; Fondital is a manufacturer of home heaters and radiators.
The team consists mostly of Italian riders, and has a strong presence in the grand tours, especially the Giro d'Italia. The manager Giuseppe Saronni was himself a famous professional cyclist and former winner of the Giro d'Italia. The directeur sportif is Giuseppe Martinelli.
Following the tradition at Saeco, the team is well-known for its publicity stunts. In the 2005 Giro d'Italia the team engaged in a press campaign Battaile d'Italia featuring their co-captains Gilberto Simoni and Damiano Cunego. During a rest day of the Giro, the team elected to visit the Monza race track for a photo-op and some training sessions. Simoni left for the 2006 season to join the Saunier Duval-Prodir team. Team lead sponsor, Lampre Group, is an industrial steel manufacturer, which which coats it's coils and sheets of steel with many colors of PVC paint.
