Joe Lewis makes a successful return to Australia

Joe Lewis may only be 24-years-old but it feels like he has been around for much longer. The Gloucester-born rider spent the most part of last season with the Trek - Livestrong U23 development team (now Bontrager - Livestrong), riding under the guidance of team director Axel Merckx. The team is designed as a feeder to the RadioShack team but unfortunately Lewis missed out on a stagiare position with the ProTour team midway through last year.
