Justin Williams entered competitive cycling at the age of 15 and immediately fell in love with track racing, surging onto the scene with two National Championship titles as a sprinter within two years of taking up the sport. His explosiveness, speed, and competitive spirit made him a natural sprinter, earning him multiple national titles in short distance events as a young rider. He took up road cycling in addition to his passion for track, where he won the U23 National Criterium Championships in 2007 that launched him into the pro circuit where he continues to race as a professional.
In 2019, Justin founded his own team, L39ion of Los Angeles, where he is both the manager and primary sprinter. The team is a mix of professional cyclists and development riders, many from South-Central LA including Justin and his brother Corey. Exciting and flashy, Justin is becoming one the most influential cyclists in the U.S., and an increasingly louder voice for inclusion and innovation in the sport.
