Ryder Hesjedal grows in stature at Garmin

Ryder Hesjedal will head into 2010 with greater confidence after a breakthrough season which saw him take a stage of the Vuelta a España and impressive results at several high profile races. The 28-year-old is hoping to build on this success with a more determined and direct approach to Tirreno-Adriatico and the Ardennes Classics next year.
