Meyer confirmed at HTC
Last week, it was reported that Cameron Meyer was training with HTC - Highroad, following his release from Garmin - Cervelo, and today, the American team confirmed his arrival on the team for the 2012 season.
'Cameron is a fantastic rider, who has a great future ahead of him', stated Directeur Sportif Phil Hoyle. 'He is a strong Time Trial rider, who will fit in perfectly with the team.'
'He has initially signed a one year contract, with the option for another year, depending on performances,' continued Hoyle. 'He is very keen to prove what he can do on the road.'
Meyer will go straight into the team for the Australian Championships, before helping lead the team at the Santos Tour Down Under, a race he won in 2010.

Thanks guys. I think he will add something to a lead out, so he is worth a chance. He is only on a low contract as well

 Australian National Road Race Championships
| m | Name | Team | Time | | 1 | Matthew Lloyd | UnitedHealthcare Pro Cycling | 3h52'46 | | 2 | Cadel Evans | BMC Racing Team | s.t. | | 3 | Simon Gerrans | Sky ProCycling | s.t. |
What a difference 12 months can make. Last year, HTC - Highroad dominated at the Australian Championships, but this year we went missing. Matt Goss lead the team in defense of his title, but he could only finish 15th, 3'44" behind winner Matt Lloyd.
Australian National Time Trial Championships
| m | Name | Team | Time | | 1 | Richie Porte | Team RadioShack | 42'09 | | 2 | Cadel Evans | BMC Racing Team | + 32 | | 3 | Jack Bobridge | Team Garmin - Cervélo | + 1'00 |
Radioshack's new recruit Richie Porte successfully defended his TT title, as HTC new man Camereon Meyer just missed out on a podium place, finishing 4th.
Santos Tour Down Under
| m | Name | Team | Time | | 1 | Jakob Fuglsang | Leopard Trek | 16h48'34 | | 2 | Sylvain Chavanel | Quick·Step Cycling Team | + 30 | | 3 | Peter McDonald | UnitedHealthcare Pro Cycling | + 37 | | . | | KoM | Riccardo Riccò | Katusha Team | | Points | André Greipel | Omega Pharma - Lotto | | Under 25 | Guillaume Van Keirsbulck | Quick·Step Cycling Team | | Team | Quick·Step Cycling Team |
The HTC sponsor wanted an Overall victory at the Santos Tour Down Under, so with that in mind, Matt Goss led the team on the road, and Mark Renshaw led us in the sprints. Like much of last year, Goss failed to perform, however, Renshaw did superbly in the sprints, finishing on the podium in three of the six stages. Best placed HTC man was Hayden Roulston in 15th place.
 Grand Prix la Marseillaise
| m | Name | Team | Time | | 1 | Jimmy Casper | Saur - Sojasun | 4h11'15 | | 2 | Leigh Howard | UnitedHealthcare Pro Cycling | s.t. | | 3 | Lloyd Mondory | AG2R La Mondiale | s.t. |
The first European race of the year saw a HTC team just looking for a good showing on a cold day in south France. John Degenkolb led the team in the sprint, finishing 8th.

@Daggen: He has been brought in to strengthen the 'Giro' lead out for Goss/Guarnieri, so will add something in the TTT as well.
@Ian & Sutty: Disappointing start. Goss's drought continues... Qatar has been played (simmed) and Oman preview and stage 1 report will be up tonight
