Being a very international team, Trek have a lot of national champions on their roster and most of them will be in action whis weekend, trying to defend their titles. The team have got their campaign off to a great start as three riders have already held onto their jerseys.
Going into 2014, Trek Factory Racing riders had eight current National Championship titles between the road race and time trial. Hayden Roulsten kicked off the season by renewing his New Zealand title with the team’s very first race and very first victory. Since then, Kristof Vandewalle has renewed his Belgian National TT title for the third year in a row. Most recently, Fabian Cancellara took his ninth Swiss Time Trial title. On a team of 27 riders from 17 countries, a National Champion jersey is a further celebration of diverse talents coming together.
