XXX Racing-AthletiCo continues its tradition of developing and supporting the leading racers in the Midwest and is proud to announce its 2012 Elite and Elite Development rosters and their race schedules.
The eight-member elite team will contest both regional- and national-level races on the road, on the track and in cyclocross. The team includes two-time state criterium and state points race champion Dave Moyer as well as reigning state pursuit champion Liam Donoghue, who holds the individual pursuit track record at the Ed Rudolph Velodrome in Northbrook, IL. The team will target the Joe Martin Stage Race, the Tour of Galena and the Tour of America’s Dairyland, as well as national-level track events.
The Elite Development Program represents XXX Racing-AthletiCo’s commitment to developing Midwestern riders from their first race to entry into the elite and professional ranks. The eight member elite development squad is composed of Category 3 men and women and for the first time includes juniors, who represent some of the most promising amateur cyclists in the region. The team boasts a number of state champions, including Category 3 state criterium and time trial champion Ryan Fay, Category 3 cyclocross champion William Pankonin and Chicago Cyclocross Cup overall winner Sandra Samman, as well as junior state criterium champion Nikos Hessert.
