Trek-LIVESTRONG continues to move up the daily podium at Internationale Thüringen-Rundfahrt, with Tim Roe’s second place finish in Stage 3. In his usual fashion, the 20-year-old from South Australia rode aggressively in the breakaway and now moves into second place in the general classification (0:00:03) behind John Degenkolb (Ger-  Thüringer Energie Team). Team director Axel Merckx sums up the Aussie’s impressive performance, “Tim Roe….Remember this name!”

Pictured below, teammate Taylor Phinney also enjoyed podium time, finishing 3rd in Stage 2’s final sprint. Trek-LIVESTRONG now leads the team classification by 0:00:56, with both Tim Roe (2nd) and Julian Kyer (6th) in the Top Ten.

Taylor Phinney placed third in Stage 2’s sprint finish.

Ben King’s (AUS) aggressive climbing moved him from 8th to 2nd place in the general classification.
