O'Neill available for Commonwealth Games

After recently winning his seventh national time-trial championship, Health Net's Nathan O'Neill is available for the Commonwealth Games time trial. Australian national road coach Shayne Bannan, who had pushed hard to make sure O'Neill was available for the Games in Melbourne yesterday confirmed that the 31-year-old would be released for national duties come mid-March. "We have received verbal confirmation, so it's safe to say he's available for the Games if selected, which is good news for us," said Bannan.
