Mapei was an Italian based road bicycle racing team active from 1993 to 2002, named after sponsoring firm Mapei. From 2003 Mapei dropped the sponsorate, and a new team was built on top of the old with the name of Quick Step-Davitamon.

Mapei was one of the strongest teams during the late 1990s, and ranked as the strongest UCI team in 1994-2000 and 2002.

Back then the team, with specialists like Johan Museeuw and Michele Bartoli, was very strong in the one day classics. The team won Paris-Roubaix five times. Twice (1996 and 1998) the team even won the first three places.

Mapei was less dominating in the Grand Tours. The only true stage race specialist was Tony Rominger, who won the 1994 Vuelta a España and the 1995 Giro d'Italia for the team. However, the team never played a major role in the Tour de France.

The official names of the team changes with the cosponsors several times. The team has ran under the following names: Mapei (1993) Mapei-Clas (1994), Mapei-GB (1995-1997), Mapei-Bricobi (1998), Mapei-Quickstep (1999-2002).
