SRAM and Velocio Apparel will serve as title sponsors of the women’s pro-cycling team Velocio Sports in 2015, the team announced.

Were very excited to continue this program, explained team owner, Kristy Scrymgeour. A combination of cycling industry partners, grassroots contributors from our Project X crowdfunding campaign, and private donors has allowed us to return this racing year with ten athletes, seven of them veterans of our program.

Including World TT Champion Lisa Brennauer (GER), the Velocio-SRAM Program retains its core while adding three new riders.

The goals are very simple, continued Scrymgeour, we are driven to win races, to help develop womens professional cycling and to represent our sponsors on cyclings biggest stage. SRAM has been a huge supporter of the team since we started working together three years ago and were honored to have them step up their support this year. Were excited to be growing our collaboration with a great brand that supports womens cycling.

Alex Wassman, SRAMs Sponsorship Director echoed Velocios success as a program.

“This team is too good not to support,” Wassman said. “They focus on winning, specializing in races against the clock, and deliver pure professionalism through it all. Its the perfect formula for us as we continue to drive top level womens racing globally.

The Velocio-SRAM pro cycling team will ride Cervelo bicycles with SRAM, Zipp and Quarq componentry.

SRAM President, Stan Day, also highlighted the teams strength, Its exciting to see the growth of womens racing, Velocio-SRAM is absolutely one of the best run programs, and were proud to enhance the level of our support.

Velocio-SRAM Pro Cycling will ride in Velocio Apparels signature line, designed in a Monarch theme to reflect the programs metamorphosis. Growth through change is our unofficial tagline, described Scrymgeour, its the program this year, its womens racing, its creating more stability in racing for women. Velocio Apparel Designer Brad Sheehan explained the support for the program in no uncertain terms, Were putting everything we have into this program.
