Delko was a French UCI ProTeam that was founded in 1974.[3] They became a Continental team in 2011 allowing them to ride UCI Europe Tour races.[4] After financial difficulties, the team's operations were brought to a halt shortly before the end of the 2021 season.[5]

In April 2018, news broke that Rémy Di Gregorio had failed an in-competition doping test for darbepoetin (EPO) during the 2018 edition of Paris–Nice.[6] [7]
