2011 was a big year for 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Jayco Herald Sun Tour champion 𝕴Nathan Haas, but it seems that next year is only going to be bigger and better.

Haas, who has signed with WorldTour team Garmin-Cervelo, will kick start his 2012 campaign at the 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Jayco Bay Cycling Classic on Sunday, January 1.

The 22-year-old will join forces with teammates Tour de France stage winner 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Heinrich Haussler and Launceston to New Norfolk Classic winner Steele Von Hoff to lead an impressive Bike Bug outfit ꧅for the four-race series.

The trio will be joined by Genesys Wealth Advisers 🦄pair Anthony Giacoppo and Alex ℱCarver.

Twelve months on f🍎rom riding in the support race at the Jayco Bay Cycling Classic, Haas returns a completely different rider but the same genuine person.

"What I have become is more patient with the process of t♐rying to get fit 𒐪and the process of actually being a bike rider," Haas said.

"I have learnt how to suffer a lot more this year, and that the best cyclists are the ones that are not necessarily the ones in the best form but are the ones that can suffer over and over and still perform at a high level 🃏𓄧on any given day.

"If I actually sit back and have a think about where I am now as opposed to w💎here I was, it is quite humblin🌜g.

"This is definitely where I would have liked to have beܫen, ridi𒈔ng in a WorldTour team, but I really never thought I would get there in one year and absolutely never thought that I would have the year I did.

"It should actually be a nice reminder of where I was a year ago; it will probably bring back a few m⭕emories so it's a nice thing to come back."

Recognisi⛎ng that there are four quality sprinters in a better position to claimꩵ the victory for Bike Bug, Haas will put his personal goals aside to play the team role at the Jayco Bay Cycling Classic.

"When we were at the team launch for Garmin-Cervelo, I got speakin🐼g with Heinrich and we thought it would be a good start to the season to practice a few lead outs for the upcoming Australian races," Haas said.

"Iꦓ definitely won't be going for a big sprint myꦅself, we have four other guys that are fantastic sprinters so my role in the team will be to do some hard work and try to bring up some form."

Haas will back up with 🐽the national championships in Ballarat before heading to Adelaide to make his WorldTour debut at the Tour Down Under.

"The Bay Crits will be my 𒊎first racing of 2012 season, and my first in a race as a signed rider. It's a pretty cool thought for me that my first few races for a WorldTour team are all happening in Australia," Haas said.
