One Pro announced at the start of September that they would be disbanding their men’s squad to focus on a new women’s team for 2019.
The team said they believe the greatest opportunity lies in the women’s side of the sport.
The One Pro women’s squad will join the WorldTour ranks in the same year as the big budget Trek Factory Racing team, which will be fronted by Lizzie Deignan on her return to racing.
One Pro had been founded with the intention of joining the men’s WorldTour.
But after registering as a professional continental team in 2016, the outfit returned to the continental level in 2017.
One Pro is amongst a number of teams ceasing to exist at the end of the 2018 season.
Aqua Blue Sport announced last month that the team would cease to ride immediately, in part due to lack of support from race organisers.
WorldTour team BMC will also not exist in its current form into 2019, instead merging with CCC.
On Monday morning, British continental team JLT Condor also announced their closure after 10 years.
