Continuing the success of its 2019 partnership, for 2020 the BePink team expands its roster with new team riders, and will be wearing a collection of LEM helmets \u2013 including the new, lightweight <a href=\"https:\/\/lemhelmets.com\/products\/motivair-road-bike-helmet\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Motiv\u2122Air<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We are very excited to start this new season and to have the very important sponsorship of LEM Helmets again this year. The brand means quality, technology, and safety, and we are very happy that our riders can ride another year with these beautiful, high-performance products,\u201d said Walter Zini, BePink\u2019s Team Manager. \u201cWe are grateful to LEM for its continued support in 2020 and we are sure that, together, we will be able to celebrate important results.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>During the 2019 season, the Team competed around the world, participating in elite races including: Santos Tour Down Under, Strade Bianche, Trofeo Binda, Ronde van Vlaanderen, Tour of California, Colorado Classic, La Fl\u00e8che Wallonne F\u00e9minine, and Giro Rosa. The team celebrated a number of podium finishes and positive results throughout the year. BePink also earned the gold medal in the Italian Derny Championship, and the bronze medal in the European Mixed Relay Championship &#8211; with &#8220;azzurra&#8221; Silvia Valsecchi as a member of the Italian track selection team.<\/p>\n<p>With a younger team of athletes, the 2019 season offered these riders the chance to grow as racers and young woman, while gaining experience on the international stage. Last season also gave the veterans on the team the opportunity to mentor young athletes on the qualities of the team, and the importance of achieving goals together.<\/p>\n<p>The team starts the 2020 season on January 16 at the four-stage, 238-mile <a href=\"https:\/\/tourdownunder.com.au\/race\/womens\/stages\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Santos Tour Down Under<\/a> which finishes in Adelaide, Australia. The BePink squad racing includes: Grace Anderson (NZ), Simona Frapporti (ITA), Mark\u00e9ta H\u00e1jkov\u00e1 (CZ), Silvia Valsecchi (ITA), Melissa Van Neck (CZ), and Silvia Zanardi (ITA). After its racing in Australia, the team will head back to Europe to continue the season racing in UCI and women\u2019s world tour events throughout the year.<\/p>\n<p>Anderson and H\u00e1jkov\u00e1 will be making their debuts with the team and are new riders for the 2020 season who, collectively, will add depth to the squad. Also joining BePink this year is standout climber Valentina Landuzzi from Bologna.<\/p>\n<p>The Team will be racing in LEM\u2019s new MotivAir helmet in a limited edition pink colorway. Featuring the brand\u2019s proprietary exoCarbon\u2122 technology that has an unmatched strength-to-weight ratio and improved oblique and rotational impact management, the high-performance MotivAir weighs 220 grams (size M) and has a full-carbon exterior shell and low-density EPS foam. This keeps weight down, increases the strength, and maximizes vents for cooling without compromising integrity.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, the Team will also race in the new Motiv\u2122Aero TT helmet with superior lens optics and a removable magnetic tail for rider customization, the lightweight <a href=\"https:\/\/lemhelmets.com\/collections\/road\/products\/gavia-road-bike-helmet\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Gavia<\/a> with 27 vents and a custom fit system, and the <a href=\"https:\/\/lemhelmets.com\/collections\/road\/products\/volata-road-bike-helmet\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Volata<\/a> which features an aero design for a streamlined, comfortable feel.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re excited to head into our second year of partnership with BePink and support the talented team at races around the world in 2020. The MotivAir is the perfect choice for the team\u2019s pursuits, and the additional helmet models offer a great head protection quiver for the season,\u201d said Keith Cozzens, Global Brand Marketing Director at LEM. \u201cWe look forward to building off our relationship and success of 2019 with everyone involved in the professional organization, and grow our collaborative partnership with a focus on providing high-performance helmets for the Team.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>For more about LEM Helmets, visit: <a href=\"https:\/\/lemhelmets.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">lemhelmets.com<\/a><\/p>\n<p>For more about BePink, visit: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bepink.eu\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">BePink<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>LEM Helmets announced its continued sponsorship of talented UCI pro women\u2019s cycling team BePink.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":335,"featured_media":92403,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"neve_meta_sidebar":"","neve_meta_container":"","neve_meta_enable_content_width":"","neve_meta_content_width":0,"neve_meta_title_alignment":"","neve_meta_author_avatar":"","neve_post_elements_order":"","neve_meta_disable_header":"","neve_meta_disable_footer":"","neve_meta_disable_title":"","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[85],"tags":[21168,966,19689,21169,20154,20153,20601,19690,20428,21164,6634],"class_list":["post-92402","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-product-and-technology-news","tag-adelaide","tag-australia","tag-bepink","tag-binda","tag-cycle-racing","tag-cyclists","tag-keith-cozzens","tag-lem-helmets","tag-santos","tag-sport-in-italy","tag-strade-bianche"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.bikeworldnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/bepink-cycling-team-02.jpg?fit=1200%2C769&ssl=1","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack-related-posts":[],"jetpack_likes_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bikeworldnews.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/92402","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bikeworldnews.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bikeworldnews.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bikeworldnews.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/335"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bikeworldnews.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=92402"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.bikeworldnews.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/92402\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bikeworldnews.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/92403"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bikeworldnews.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=92402"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bikeworldnews.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=92402"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bikeworldnews.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=92402"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
