18 March 2021“Elite Cycling Team dedicated to increasing diversity, encouraging inclusion, and giving supporters access to their favourite athletes.”
The team is a dominant force whose uniquely diverse roster of riders have their sights set firmly on making the move to the professional ranks in 2021. But this is a team that’s about far more than being good on the bike. At every race they enter, Legion’s tent is the place to be; their insightful race reports filmed from within the bunch have garnered a following of thousands online, and the team works hard to provide a pathway into the sport for young athletes from all backgrounds.
For several years now, Legion of Los Angeles has been conquering all corners of the US crit scene. Led by Justin and Cory Williams, the team sprinted to prominence with upset wins over bigger domestic rivals. But a race result is only an upset for as long as it is a surprise, and these days a Legion win in a crit race is far from surprising.
In 2021, the team turned pro and became a UCI Continental team with its sights set even higher than before. With the roster bolstered by female riders, the team will compete in every corner of the US and, if restrictions allow, in some races overseas. As ever, the team will target sprint wins with their formidable lead out train. But this is a team that’s about far more than being good on the bike.
At every race they enter, Legion’s tent is the place to be; their insightful race reports filmed from within the bunch have garnered a following of thousands online, and the team works hard to provide a pathway into the sport for young athletes from all backgrounds.
In 2020, a year where charities struggled to raise funds, the team managed to raise $50,000 to help increase diversity and inclusion within cycling. Being a part of Legion is about more than becoming a better cyclist, it’s about becoming a better person and redressing some of the imbalances that continue to characterise our sport.
