This is a team where all the riders have Type 1 diabetes. My girlfriend works for the team, so I am biased towards thinking it is interesting and even inspirational, but even aside from that it seems like pretty good way to change peoples' perceptions of diabetes.

I have Type I Diabetes, so these guys are extra-inspirational in my book.

Hard not to be inspired by these guys. Too many people in our society use diagnoses as reasons NOT to do things, so it's nice to get reminders that a diagnosis of a serious illness doesn't necessarily need to be a life sentence to the couch.

Great to see them getting into some of the bigger races.
