Pearce hired as USA Cycling track coach

USA Cycling has hired all-round track and road racer Colby Pearce as its new endurance track coach. The 33-year-old 2004 Olympian will be involved in all phases of the endurance track program, including working with the elite men's and women's programs, the under-23 program, and developing junior racers, the organisation announced this morning.

Pearce has worked for the last year with the TIAA-CREF team as a rider/coach. "[He] has brought a number of athletes and top road talent to the track," USA Cycling director of track cycling Pat McDonough said. "We hope he can take us to the next level."
