Australian Trent Lowe joins the Discovery Channel Pro Cycling Team as one of four new riders on the 2006 roster. The 21-year-old, former full-time professional mountain biker had a breakthrough year on the road in 2005 riding for the US domestic team, Jittery Joe´s, where he caught eye of Discovery Channel sports manager Johan Bruyneel.
Lowe won the young rider competition at the Tour de Georgia, finishing 11th overall, and he won the difficult Redlands Classic Oak Glen stage, finishing second overall.
In 2004, Lowe split his time between the road and the dirt, but still managed to take second overall at the Boulder Stage Race. He won the AST Boulder Criterium and was noted as VeloNews’ “Surprise Rider of the Year”.
Lowe won the U23 Australian National Mountain Bike Championship for the second straight year, was a regular top 10 finisher throughout the 2004 NORBA NCS season and, at Snow Summit, he finished a season-best second place in the cross country, and third in the short track with the Subaru-Gary Fisher squad.
Prior to setting his sights on road racing, Lowe showed enormous promise in the mountain bike arena. He has numerous top results in many World Cup, NORBA and Australian events, highlighted by a win in the mountain bike cross-country junior world championship in 2002.
A solid bike handler and an amazing climber, Trent Lowe is definitely one to watch as he gains experience and learns from his Discovery Channel mentors.
