You are all wrong!
This is a Kiwi!
I have added all teams, still searching for Mini jerseys. I can probably start the story once I added all races (let's hope this weekend).

ABOUT JUSTIN…
How did you get started in bicycle racing?
My Dad was one of the big names in Belize, where my family is from. So naturally, as kid wanting to be like his Father, I’ve always wanted to ride but he would never pay me any attention. He always said I was all talk haha. Plus, I was doing so many other things, such as Football, Basketball, Track and field. Being an inner city kid, that’s what I was into and great at. When I was 12, I fell out of a tree and landed on my spine and when I went to the Doctors he said I’d have back problems my whole life and that I should stay away from contact sports. My Mom, being my Mom, didn’t let me play sports after that. When I was about fourteen and a half we had a pretty rainy off season and my Dad would leave his bike on there trainer I jump on one day and did 45 minutes with no shoes no bibs, Basketball shorts and Nike’s and I just road after a week of that he decided that it was time to get me some shoes.
Tell us about your first race.
We have a training crit in Long beach were the fastest Juniors in my age group at the time in Ca. went to, Alex Garcia who was the 13-14 national crit Champion and anther kid named Nico who was State Champion in my age group and I always beat them in sprints on the group ride so I though it was gonna be a breeze I got smashed that whole season haha they were teammates.
What is your favorite memory or experience on the bike?
My favorite memory on a bike was Winning my Crit National Championship in ‘08 everything was perfect it was in my home town, My hole family was out, I had the support of my team and one of the best crit racers (Rahssan Bahati) in my ear to guide me home.
That day was the day I’ve been waiting on since I started Cycling.
What makes you most excited about riding for the Trek LIVESTRONG team?
I’m excited about the opportunity to work with the great guys on the team. I really feel like this season will be full of excitement and winning on and team with great support and a great staff.
What is your favorite place to ride?
I enjoy riding the most on the California Coast at dusk. It’s unbelievable. It’s home.
What accomplishment or career achievement are you most proud of?
The things that I’m most proud of are hearing people start talking when I show up to races, Winning Sea Otter even though People say I can’t climb, making everyone proud that believed in me and shutting everyone up that had something to say.

That's why the LAF kicks in at the moment of diagnosis, giving people the resources and support they need to fight cancer head-on. The LAF finds innovative ways to raise awareness, fund research and end the stigma about cancer that many survivors face. The LAF connects people and communities to drive social change and calls for state, national and world leaders to help fight this disease. Anyone, anywhere can join the fight against cancer.

See you then.
Justin

07 January 2011
Hi all,
I'm just home from the training camp. We spend 4 days in Solvang with the whole team together training for the upcoming season. Arriving there, we first were shown our bikes for next year. Trek has again done a great job helping us to the best possible equipment.
The Trek Madone looks great!
The mechanics have done a great job so far adjusting the bikes to all our needs but before we can start riding on them, our shoe cleats still have to be rescrewed. And that's a job for the riders self.
Jones and Avis working hard on their shoes.
Then after lunch, the guys could go out and start the training. As they were just going to ride a small tour around Solvang, I didn't join them but stayed in the hotel and got a afternoon nip. The dinner was a good way to learn know each other. I really like Bennett. The Newsealander is really funny.
The next day was working day for the guys. A long training ride around Solvang was planned so I joined them in the team car accompanied by my Canon.
All guys are wearing extra jackets and long trousers to protect themselves against the cold.
The cold was really hard and when climbing a small mountain, we even passes some arreas with snow. That was the right place to stop and have some fun.
Lewis knows that a small snowball fight is very good or the team morale.
Coming home late, everyone was very tired after a long ride so we all went to sleep not long after dinner.
Another long ride was planned the next day but the weather was better so the training ride wasn't expected to be as hard as yesterday. The sphere was again great, even without snowballs to fight with.
When passing an old farm, I wanted to take a nice shot so the whole team and team car rode back and passed the farm again. I could take the next photo:
It took some time to take it but the result is certainly not bad.
Later one, out of nowhere, we bumped in to the Radioshack team. They are also on training camp and we rode together for quite a while. With them was Lance Armstrong. He is preparing his last race, the Tour Down Under. All the guys were very happy that they could talk to the boss himself.
For some of us the first, but for Lance the last training camp ever.
We leaved the big boys behind and returned to the hotel were we had a good dinner. A trip to the local bowling club was very fun. I can say that I'am bad at bowling but certainly not as bad as Robin. Our German had never touched a bowling bal before and therefore finished lonely last.
A short but fast ride was planned on the final day and Axel Merckx, our team director and Olympic medal winner in 2004, pushed a very good pace. He stopped cycling in 2007 but can still go very fast.
Eddy Merckx's son putting the hurt on the boys.
The last climb of the day was set as a test for everybody. The guys could go all out and see who has already some nice legs. Joe Dombrowski made a splendid attack and was the first home. We can certainly expect big things from him in the early season.
Joe gives it a go!
I had a lot of fun in the team car but I think I would have had even more fun riding. Too bad my back doesn't allow that. Let's hope I can race as mush as possible this season. That will be decided next week on a team conference.
See you then
Justin
