Heath Blackgrove
I am really excited about the 2012 season with Elbowz Racing after a very successful first year in 2011. It will be my 7th season racing the U.S. domestic circuit after 4 seasons in Europe, and I look forward to using this experience to help my teammates and myself achieve our goals. This experience has included representing my home country, New Zealand, at the Olympics, Commonwealth Games and World Championships on the road and track, and winning 12 NZ National titles including 2 Pro/Elite Road Championships. I look forward to passing on this knowledge and helping the other riders on the team, while leading by example, and building on 2011 for this season and hopefully many more to come.
