Basis women's team

The Basis Women's Cycling Team has announced its roster for the 2003 season. The lineup includes four national champions including 2000 Olympian Nicole Freedman and made its debut at the Pomona Valley Stage Race where Freedman won the sprint classification. The other members of the team are a mix of experienced riders and talented development riders.

Basis has taken successful veteran riders and paired them with talented developmental riders. "I am thrilled to be on a team with such committed and talented cyclists and to have the support of sponsors as enthusiastic as ourselves," says veteran rider Nicole Freedman. The team will compete at more than 30 National Racing Calendar races, opening with the Pomona Valley Stage Race.

Basis facial soaps and cleansers are manufactured by Beiersdorf Inc., a leading skin care company located in Wilton, CT with headquarters in Hamburg, Germany. Basis Soaps and Cleansers are specially formulated with gentle cleansing ingredients and natural botanicals to leave skin feeling refreshingly clean. Over the past year, Basis has focused its marketing efforts on reaching the female outdoor enthusiast. "Basis is very excited about supporting the Women's Cycling Team. We believe the team exemplifies our philosophy and helps to reinforce the Basis message by continuing our support for the female outdoor enthusiast," says Irene Valles, Director of Marketing and Business Development for Beiersdorf.

Gold sponsor, Terry Precision Bicycles will provide the team with their new racing bike, the Fast Woman. Founder of Terry Precision Bicycles, Georgena Terry had the success of the team in mind when designing the Fast Woman, "The Fast Woman is our top of the line road racing bike-light, responsive and equipped with Dura-Ace componentry. Who better to put it though its paces?"
