LUX Junior Cycling

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

LUX Junior Cycling, officially LUX/CTS p/b Specialized for the 2022 racing season,[1] and also simply known as "LUX", was an American amateur junior and women's u-23 cycling team founded in 2012.[2][3][1] LUX was formed in southern California and slowly grew to have a national and international presence with members from across the country winning multiple national and world championships.[2][4][1] LUX has had multiple notable riders that continued to WorldTeams and ProTeams in their professional careers including Riley Sheehan, Quinn Simmons, Luke Lamperti, and Brandon McNulty.[4] LUX was run by Roy Knickman from 2014-2022.[5]

LUX ceased all operations at the end of the 2022 racing season due to financial reasons.[6][7]
