2009 Team Specialized Racing

We are pleased to announce our team roster for the 2009 racing season. Overall, we have 10 juniors and 19 masters on Team Specialized Racing. We want to thank Specialized, Thomas Weisel Partners, Russel Hirsch, SRAM, CytoSport, Vermarc, Stanford Human Performance Lab and the Northern California Cycling Foundation for their continued generous support.

For the 2009 racing season we have added three juniors and one master. 2008 NCNCA 15-16 junior points series winner Peter Taylor (17) joins us from Tieni Duro; David Benkoski (16) moves over from AltoVelo and Alistair Eeckman (15) comes to us unattached. Chris D’Aluisio (46) joins us from the Morgan Stanley Specialized Team.

We will have four departures as well. A teammate for 20 years, Victor Copeland has deciding to retire from racing; Edan Levanton deciding to take his racing less seriously; and both Davis Bentley and Jeff Angermann deciding to focus more on Mountain Bike racing than road racing.
