Tim Roe
Tim Roe
is looking forward to full race program in 2010. After a solid year of
racing with Australia's Savings and Loans team in the UCI Continental
program, Roe fielded offers from several Pro teams. He decided to go with
the offer from Lance Armstrong's newly formed Trek-Livestrong squad and
returned to Australia in late 2009 after undertaking a training camp in the
United States.
Roe is now looking forward to having a home advantage during the Tour
Down Under, racing along the roads that he regularly trains on.
