A pared down UnitedHealthcare pro women’s team will return just four riders from the 2016 team, as the roster is whittled down from 13 this year to 10 next season.
Katie Hall, Rushlee Buchanan, Diana Peñuela and Shawn Morelli will return for next season, while prolific winner Coryn Rivera is rumoured to have signed with a European team for 2017.
The team has brought on the services of talented veterans Tayler Wiles and Lauren Hall to shore up the roster, adding Janelle Cole, Lauretta Hanson, Kate Sherwin and Ruth Winder as well.

"I’m excited about the roster we’ve put together,” said retruning director Rachel Heal. “Like the men’s team, it's a great mix of youth and experience. We will be focusing on all the big races in the US next season as well as a selection of international stage races."
The team will look to Katie Hall, a four-year veteran of the US team, to carry the banner in the stage races next year. Hall had a breakout season this year, winning a stage, the Mountains Jersey and the general classification at the Tour Femenino de San Luis in Argentina in January.
She followed her San Luis success with a second place finish during stage 1 at the Tour of the Gila and the mountains classification win at the Aviva Women’s Tour in Great Britain.
