FloridaVelo Junior Development Team

The FloridaVelo Junior Development Team has raced 2 of the most important races in North America during this summer (2009) - The Tour of the Red River Gorge in Lexington, KY and Le Tour de l'Abitibi in Val d'Or, Canada. The team is a composite of the top 17-18 juniors in Florida, joining the team where juniors from Georgia, North Carolina, Tennessee, and even from Michigan.

For us at Velocé Speedwear was a pleasure to be part of the team by outfitting them with jerseys, bib shorts and skinsuits. We believe in supporting the development of junior athletes, and this was a great opportunity for these teenagers to participate in top level events.
