Australia's Chloe Hosking will leave Italy-based team Alle Cipollini to join Rally UHC Cycling in 2020. Hosking is one of the best-known sprinters in the women's peloton and will add more than a decade of experience to the American program. The team announced a roster of 10 riders that also includes newly crowned junior road world champion Megan Jastrab.

"Rally UHC Cycling offers a new environment filled with new challenges," Hosking said in a team press release. After 11 seasons in Europe, "I knew I needed a big change to continue to enjoy and be successful in this sport. The team gives me the opportunity to accomplish all of this."

Hosking said.

Hosking turned pro in 2010 with the Colombian women's team, then switched teams to HTC-Highroad and Specialized-Lululemon. She then signed with Hitec Products and Wiggle High5 for two seasons each before moving to Ale Cipollini from 2017 to the present.

Highlights of her career include victories in the second stages of La Course by Le Tour de France (2016) and the Madrid Challenge by La Vuelta (2019) and a gold medal at the Commonwealth Games Road Race (2018). In 11 seasons of competition, Hosking has a total of 33 wins and 100 podium finishes.

"I feel very lucky to be able to do this for a living," Hosking said. My father once told me, 'Chloe, work in an office for the rest of your life. That's really true. You're only young once, and my body and mind allow me to race motorcycles at the highest level in the world."

"I am ready for the challenge, not only physically, but mentally and socially as well. I look forward to helping Larry UHC Cycling take the next step as a team."

Larry UHC will have a team of 10 riders, including Just Love, Sarah Bergen, Allison Beveridge, Krista Dobel-Hickok, Heidi Franz, Sarah Poidevin, Emma White, and newcomers Lee Ann Gunzer and Lily Williams The team will be made up of 10 players. Team Director Zach Bell said Hosking is more than capable of leading and mentoring a young group of players in the world's largest competition.

"As the program grew, it became clear that we needed someone knowledgeable enough to lead our players in Europe," Bell said. With Chloe, I believe we can reach that goal."

Just Love, who won the junior world title in Yorkshire last month, is now on the team; at 17, she is not allowed to compete in UCI-sanctioned women's elite events, but has experienced international success. This spring she won the Nations Cup Trofeo da Moreno-Mini Trofeo Alfredo Binda, the U17 Ghent-Wevelgem, and the junior Healthy Aging Girls Tour in England. She also won double world titles in the Omnium and Madison and the 2019 UCI World Junior Track Championships.

Justlove turned 18 in January and looks forward to competing at a higher level with Rally UHC in the 2020 season.

"Riders like Emma White and Megan Justlove are both becoming great, high-level sprinters. The riders will then return home and prepare for camp in early January before heading to Australia for the season opener.

2020 Rally UHC Cycling women's roster: Sarah Bergen, Allison Beveridge, Krista Dobel-Hickok, Chloe Hosking, Heidi Franz, Lee Ann Ganser, Megan Jastrub, Sarah Poidevin, Emma White, Lily Williams.
