Today, cyclingnews.com, (my longtime top online reference for international english cycling news) posted an article about the National Race Calendar (NRC) Prestige Series standings.

Myself (Lex Albrecht), Joëlle Numainville, and Denise Ramsden (both Olympians, we're proud of them!) are tied in points for 3rd place in the Best Young Rider classification this year!

Jade Wilcoxson has won the Sprinter classification for 2012, as well as 3rd place overall, right behind our teammate Carmen Small in second place.

Optum Pro Cycling presented by Kelly Benefit Strategies is also the number one ranked team in America in NRC's Prestige ranking.  What an impressive first season for the colour orange. 

Thank you to the fans, thank you to the sponsors, and thank you to everyone in the team both on, and off of the road!  Way to go OPTUM!
