TEAM HTC - COLUMBIA RIDERS
HAYDEN ROULSTON (29)
Hayden Roulston will certainly have a packed early season program for HTC-Columbia. In January he’s also taking part in the Tour Down Under in Australia, and after that comes the NZ National Track Championships in Invercargill from February 8th-10th. This kind of switching from road to track and back again has always been one of Roulston’s strong points as a rider.
A full-time professional since 2003, with his first victory in a stage in the Tour of Poland that year, in 2008 at the Olympic Games Roulston won a silver medal in the individual pursuit as well as a bronze in the team pursuit. He was an equally diverse athlete as a teenager, saying “I played all sports when I was younger. I loved rugby and soccer, but my first real love was BMX."
“As for the 2010 season, it’s simple: I want to see how far I can go.”
