 Albabici
and Hibros Sport are pleased to announce their
sponsorship of Team Type 1.
Two-time winners of the
Race Across America (RAAM), Team Type 1 joined the ranks of professional
cycling in 2008, bringing with them the inspirational message that
athletes with diabetes can compete and win at the highest levels of
sport with good control of their diabetes.
“Our goal is to inspire people with diabetes around the world
to take control of their health through diet, exercise and proper
health care,” said team co-founder Phil Southerland who was diagnosed
with Type 1 diabetes at seven months old. “As a professional team,
racing against the world’s best cyclists, we’ll be able to deliver that
message to a much wider audience.”
Of the team’s 13
elite cyclists with diabetes, four will be part of Team Type 1’s
professional roster, licensed as a UCI Continental Team, while 10 will
compete as an amateur development team in RAAM and other events. 11
non-diabetic riders will join the pro team.
