Francesca Cauz (born 24 September 1992) is an Italian racing cyclist, who last rode for UCI Women's Team Servetto–Piumate–Beltrami TSA.[1]

Early life

Cauz was born in Conegliano[2] and raised in San Fior. Her grandfather, parents and uncles were all professional cyclists, and her sister and cousins raced with the Top Girls Calinferno cycling team.[3]

Career

As a junior, Cauz first raced with Veloce club San Vendemiano, before moving to Verso L’iride where she spent two years as a junior and one year as a professional. She then moved to the Fassa Bortolo–Servetto cycling team in 2012. In 2013, she wore the white jersey at the Giro Rosa.[3] She won the jersey overall after recording two top-three finishes on individual stages and finishing in seventh place in the general classification.[2] She also finished second at the 2013 European Road Championships, and competed in the Road World Championships and cross-country world championship. However in 2014 she struggled from injuries, and was rumoured to be retiring before signing for Alé–Cipollini for the 2015 season.[4] In 2015, Cauz finished in sixth place at the Italian Championships, and 16th place at the Giro Rosa. In 2019, she signed for the Servetto–Piumate–Beltrami TSA team.[2]
