DNA Pro Cycling, which is targeting an 11th season, has announced its roster of 12 riders for 2023, including seven new riders. Britons Harriet Owen and Rachel Langdon will join the team along with experienced American riders Shayna Powles and Holly Breck.

Joining them in the Under 23s will be Canadian track star Sarah Van Dam and the pairing of Olivia Cummins and Gabrielle Lehnert from Lux Development.

Leading the way among the five returning riders who have found success in the 2022 road season are Colombian national road champion Diana Peñuela and Mexican national time trial champion Annette Barrera, who have both signed two-year contracts. Penuela won the first four stages of the six-stage Vuelta Colombia to take the GC title, while Barrera finished third overall and took the best foreigner jersey in the last two stages.

"We are very pleased to continue the momentum of this year's success with a new roster of up-and-coming talent and seasoned pros," said team director Catherine Fegan-Kim. 'This new, larger roster was carefully chosen to support our ambitions in road racing in North America, Latin America, and Europe.'

Of note is sprinter Maggie Coles-Leister, who is the reigning Canadian road race national champion and recently won the overall and sprint women's titles at the 2022 American Criterium Cup.

"Having nurtured Maggie for the past three years, we are really excited that she has signed with a European team and will be able to test her sprinting ability among the best in the world. We have young riders with great potential like Maggie, as well as experienced professionals," Fegan-Kim told Cycling News. The new Coles Leister team has not yet been announced.

For 2022, the team has mixed road racing into its calendar of stable criterium events. Riders recorded seven top-10 finishes between the Jo Martin stage race and the Tour of the Gila, with Coles-Leister winning the fourth stage of the Jo Martin Tour Cycliste Féminin, which took place over seven days. Inernationale de l'Ardèche, Barrera and Penuela rounded out the GC top 20.

Other returning competitors include Canada's Caitlin Lauerda and Americans Heather Fisher and Kimberly Lucy.

Owen and Langdon moved over from ATX Wolfpack p/b Probikekit, where Owen took his second overall win at the Tour of America in Dairylands. Breck has raced for UCI teams TWENTY20 and Rally Cycling and raced for Torelli Cayman Islands this season, finishing on the podium at the Salt Lake Criterium and the Manhattan Beach Grand Prix pro race.

Powles is an all-rounder on dirt and asphalt. This year, the Los Angeles-based L39ION rider made the podium in two stages of the Joe Martin Stage Race and finished fourth in the US Pro National Championship road race.

Among the young riders in the all-star cast, Van Dam, 20, joins DNA from Red Truck Racing. At this year's Pan American Track Cycling Championships, he won gold in the Omnium, Elimination, Madison, and Team Pursuit. He also won the individual Pursuit at the 2022 Canadian Track Championships and stood on the podium at the Redlands Bicycle Classic.

Cummins, 19, is the current US U23 Criterium Champion and has made numerous podiums in 2022, including two stages of the Redlands Bicycle Classic, Tulsa Tough, and College Road and Criterium Nationals. 21-year-old Lehnert, who has won the US U23 Criterium Champion title in 2022 and the US U23 Criterium Champion in 2022, is the current US U23 Criterium Champion in 2022, raced three seasons with Lux Cycling, finishing third in the U23 road race in 2021. This season he was a member of the Andy Schleck UCI team, winning the Cicliste de Morsles at the Festival and placing fourth in the Rás na mBan for best young rider.
