Rahsaan Bahati Rock Racing rocks to me because I can make choices based on what I believe, and not what others believe. I can express myself, without jeopardizing my individuality or the integrity of my character. |

Santiago Botero [ Translated ] Rock Racing is not just a cycling team, it is an innovative way to view and practice competitive cycling, for both the riders and the sponsors. READ MORE >> |

Austin Carroll Rock Racing Rocks because Michael Ball has given me an incredible opportunity to fulfill my dreams as a bike racer. He supports me to take each season to the next level so I can be the best at what I want to do – and that is "race my bike at the highest level,” which I intend to do. READ MORE >> |

Michael Creed I wanted to write a piece on why my team kicks ass. But every time I start, it comes off as if I'm bagging on the other teams. And I don't want to do that. I guess what it comes down to is this: would U.S. cycling be better if it had five more Michael Balls or five more "fan" sponsored teams? I think so. |

Brock Curry This team is the sickest thing ever. I have been riding my bike for three years and now I am racing for the team that everyone knows. That definitely is not the reason I love the team so much. The main reason is the fact that it doesn’t control my life. |

Peter Dawson I have been a cyclist who has seen the world three times over and raced in countries I never imagined I would ever see coming from a small country town of 5,000 people south of Perth, Western Australia. READ MORE >> |

Cesar Grajales [ Translated Text ] I’m writing this in Spanish, because this team is so freaking cool and it seems that I don’t have enough words in English. READ MORE >> |

Tyler Hamilton Rock Racing rocks because we:

Sergio Hernandez Rock Racing rocks because of one thing: Michael Ball. He always wants the best for us and the support he throws behind this team is second-to-none. He has made Rock Racing one of the premier pro teams in a short time because he knows what it takes to be successful – on the bike and in business. |
 |
Kevin Klein What makes this team ROCK? It's SIMPLE. Michael's VISION of what is/will be cool and his ability to execute. It's one to thing to have a vision, but not being able to change your ideas into reality is a waste. READ MORE >> |

Kayle Leogrande I sat here thinking of a witty way to start this out, but all I can say is I don’t know any other team that would support and stand by its riders like Rock. If I were on any other team at the beginning of this year, they would have already kicked me to the curb in fear of their reputation. READ MORE >> |

Sterling Magnell Teamwork is what makes this team rock. I've found a renewed passion for the sport this year. The biomechanical issues I struggled with since my early professional years really took the wind out of my sails. I'd say it was like riding around with the brakes on. READ MORE >> |

Rudolph Napolitano Not too long ago, after putting in a day’s work on the bike, I stopped at my local brew shop for a coffee. As I sat out front and sipped away, a young boy walked up to me admiring my venom kit and asked if I was a super hero. Naturally, I said “yes.” Rock Racing rocks because it has allowed me to become what I have always wanted to be. |

Doug Ollerenshaw How does Rock rock? Let me count the ways. It begins with the manner in which we're all treated. Any leader of a great company must implicitly understand the need to treat his employees with the respect they are due, to make them feel truly valued... READ MORE >> |

Victor Hugo Peña This team makes me love this sport all over again. When I was living in Europe the last couple of years, it was just like I was doing it for the money and I didn’t want it to be just about that. I want the glory. When I started this sport, it was because I wanted to be the best Colombian rider ever and to be the first Colombian to wear the yellow jersey. And I did it! READ MORE >> |
 |
Fred Rodriguez I'd like to say that on this team we "think outside the box". But the reality is that this notion doesn't apply to us. Any resemblance of a box has been obliterated by Ball's belief in and support for his riders to just do what we know how to do best – race hard to win. READ MORE >> |
 |
Oscar Sevilla Rivera The team rocks because there is a family-like atmosphere here. Everyone has the same motivation and drive - from Michael and Haldane to everyone on the team. Our image worldwide is very well received and it makes it special to be a part of this team. |
 |
Adam Switters Why does Rock Racing rock? For starters, the team gave me a chance. Last year, Rock Racing took some credible names and mixed them in with some young guns – riders who had the potential but just needed a way to break into the sport. And look at us now. READ MORE >> |

Jeremiah Wiscovitch Well, it’s been a tough year for me with a lot of ups and downs. Rock Racing as a team is a great group of guys to be around. When you’re hanging out with your teammates, you just feel like you are around friends, not colleagues. READ MORE >> |

Mariano Friedick Seven million hits on our website during the Tour of California, thousands of dollars worth of gear sold on the first day Rock Racing launched its clothing line, and a Rock Racing podium sticker in the back window of a truck in Bogota, Colombia. It is mind blowing. Talk about movement, buzz, and a monster - this is one of them. Definitely a New Game. |

Haldane Morris There is no other team like Rock Racing in pro cycling. And for good reason, there is only one Michael Ball -- passionate team owner, former cyclist, accomplished businessman and entrepreneur, the list goes on and on. Michael is what makes Rock Racing rock. |
