Super Squadra

We’re excited to announce a new partnership between Super Squadra and Texas Devo focused on developing junior and under-23 athletes in road cycling events across Texas and beyond. Texas Devo has built a proven pipeline in mountain biking—helping athletes achieve national podiums and elite performances. With Super Squadra’s highly competitive Category 1,2 road team, Texas Devo is expanding the development pathway to competitive road racing.

🔹 Junior athletes in the Texas Devo program will now have the opportunity to race with Super Squadra once they earn their Cat 2 upgrade on the road.

🔹 This collaboration gives our riders access to high-level team racing, mentorship, and tactical experience in regional and national road events.

🔹 Together, we’re building a bridge from junior development to elite road racing—with the same commitment to growth and excellence.

Let’s roll.

Super Squadra is an Austin, Texas-based elite road team with a proven track record in local, regional and national events. Super Squadra racers have gone on to compete in the Tour de France and at the Olympics. Known for their tactical depth and mentorship culture, they offer a powerful next step for junior athletes transitioning into high-level road competition.

Texas Devo is a nationally recognized Texas-based cycling nonprofit dedicated to developing junior and U23 athletes through personalized coaching, mentorship, and race support in all of the off-road disciplines of cycling. In 2025 alone, athletes on the Texas Devo team earned standout results at national events like the USA Cycling Endurance MTB Nationals and many UCI events across North America.

On Tuesday, July 1, we lost an incredibly special person, friend and teammate. Lennie Antonelli brightened every space he inhabited with his smile and enthusiasm. A graduate of Indiana University, Lennie became passionate about bike racing through competing in the Little 500.

He joined Super Squadra Asheville in 2023 and received his category 1 upgrade while racing at Tulsa Tough that same year. Both his Asheville and Austin teammates cheered Lennie on as he raced to a top-10 finish on Crybaby Hill. Lennie went on to compete at the professional national criterium championships, and had won his most recent race alongside his friends and teammates.

Lennie passed away while participating in a Tuesday night group ride in Asheville. A person driving a dump truck crossed the center line and struck Lennie and another rider, Jake Hill, who was also killed.

The Asheville cycling community gathered for a memorial ride in honor of Lennie and Jake, and held a remembrance at Liberty Bikes, where Lennie worked. Donations in Lennie’s name can be made to the Logan Center in South Bend, Indiana.

Lennie embodied the ethos of Super Squadra, and his spirit will carry forward in every ride, race and activity we participate in.

We miss you, Lennie.
