2010 HighlightsAbout Team Type 1Team Type 1 is in their first season as a UCI-registered Pro Continental outfit. Their mission is to instill hope and provide inspiration for people affected by diabetes by demonstrating that with appropriate diet, exercise, treatment and technology, anyone with diabetes can achieve their dreams.The team was co-founded by Type 1 diabetics Phil Southerland and Joe Eldridge, and is led by team director Vassilli Davidenko. The 21-man roster includes six riders with Type 1 diabetes. This year, the team's goals are to race a full European calendar with an expanded roster of international riders and to continue to achieve podium success at the highest level of the sport. The Amgen Tour of California ranks as one of the most important events on their program and they'll be aiming to build on last year's win in the King of the Mountains competition. Based in Atlanta, GA, Team Type 1 competes around the world with an international squad of athletes to raise diabetes awareness and demonstrate that the disease does not prevent individuals from living their lives. Team Type 1 also runs a women's professional team, a triathlon team, an elite amateur squad, a development team for T1 diabetics under 25, and a Type 2 team. |
