Over the last year I have become really passionate about cycling. I am 26 and have been considering training over the winter to start racing next year. I know it is never too late to start. I just wanted to know if 26 is too old to really work up the ranks in the women's cycling scene. (ie becoming pro level) At what age do sponsors stop taking team riders at a pro level?

I know that the womens cycling scene is entirely different from men and with most of my friends being men that is all I am really familar with. I hope some of you can give me an insight based on your experiences.
