River City Women's Racing announces the formation of Team Fruit 66 / Artemis for 2010. While there has been no shortage of standout elite women racers in the VACA, it has been some time since a dedicated elite women's squad was registered in the region.
But the partnership blurs the line between local associations, as co-title sponsor Artemis - a MABRA fixture, and reigning 2-time Team BAR champion - lends its name, support and two of its elite racers to the new VACA-registered team. The new kits are not yet available, but it's likely also that Artemis will also provide some trademark purple lycra for the design.
The squad will be well represented at regional events in both MABRA and VACA, and will also target NRC races.
