Original Nalini cycling winter jacket Brescialat - Oyster 1998

Brescialat, later Liquigas, was an Italian cycling team in the 1990s and early 2000s. The team was founded in 1994 with Renzo Pesenti at the helm. The first split followed in 1995. Sports director Primo Franchini started his own team with co-sponsor Ceramiche Refin and brought several Brescialat riders with him.

The following year, former rider and sports director Bruno Leali started his own team with the San Marco Group team. His attempt failed, however, and the eight riders who had come with him had to look for a new team again in May 1996. Two of them returned to Brescialat. Belgian Eric Vanderaerden rode for the team for two seasons (1994–1995). In 1995, Vanderaerden, as a Brescialat rider, finished sixth in Paris-Roubaix, won by Italian Franco Ballerini.

After 1998, Brescialat stopped sponsoring the team, after which the Italian gas company Liquigas continued the team under its own name, Liquigas-Pata, until 2001. Davide Rebellin's overall victory in Tirreno-Adriatico in 2001 is a notable example. In 2001, Denis Zanette reached the podium for the Liquigas team in the Tour of Flanders, finishing third behind Italian Gianluca Bortolami and Dutchman Erik Dekker.

In 2003, technical director Fabio Bordonali started a new team, Tenax.
