The Perpinan Project

Proud doesn’t even begin to cover it. This women’s squad continues to embody everything I believe in, no assigned leaders, no protected riders, just belief, unity, and the freedom for anyone to win.

No handouts. No protected riders. No script.

Just a group of women who show up ready to fight, any one of them capable of taking the win on any given day.

This weekend we had two new winners. One overall victory. And a reminder:
When you build a team with no hierarchy, all you get is killers.

When every rider believes they belong at the front, the results speak for themselves.

Proud to see the ideology has become the culture. Proud of this squad. Proud of what we’re building.

Proud of the grit, the hunger, the ex*****on. We don’t crown queens, we earn it in the chaos.
So very happy to see riders that previously weren’t given chances to win enjoying their moment to shine!

2024 Rider Intro ⚡️ Meet ⚡️ Andre was born/grew up in São Paulo, Brazil and he now resides in Miami, FL. He began racing back in 2007/2008, took some years off the bike and picked it up again in 2018. His favorite race/race course is “the Florida State Road Race; it’s a bit longer than our usual races and it’s a road race so it’s nice to switch it up from racing criteriums from time to time.”

What he loves about cycling is “the friendships we build with other cyclists as well as being able to experience the city and places we live or visit in a different way on the bike.” His favorite pro cyclist is Francisco Chamorro.

Andre’s goals for the season are “to be healthy and in race shape year round, to be able to race and by doing so have fun all year long.” His favorite non cycling things are BBQ with friends, and taking his dog for walks around the neighborhood.

A cause close to Andre’s heart is “to improve other people’s lives by extending a helping hand when they are in need.”

His favorite scripture verse is Exodus 20:12 - “Honor your father and your mother, so that you may live long in the land the Lord your God is giving you.”
