Last season was incredible for team Specialized-lululemon. Sixty-five wins in all, including an impressive show of skill and determination in storming home for the Team Time Trial win at the UCI World Championships. There is no doubt in our minds they’re the most dominant team in the female peloton. But they’re more than that.

As much as we admire this exceptional group of women on the bike, it’s what they do off the bike that’s equally inspiring. Their unique personalities and backgrounds, their diverse interests and loves, and especially how they give back to the communities that support them. Everything they do for women’s cycling—their passion and commitment—it’s what sets them apart.

We’re proud to continue our partnership with team Specialized-lululemon as they enter the 2013 racing season. A team boasting eleven talented riders, including Olympic medalists, National Champions, World Champions, and stars in all disciplines of cycling, not just road. They’re a force to be reckoned with and a constant inspiration to all women, not just those interested in the world of professional cycling.

With their dedication and the continued support of, and focus on, women’s cycling, the future looks bright for our sport. Riders to the line!
