Rock denied Pro Continental status

The UCI posted their list of 2010 Pro Continental teams and Rock Racing was not included. With aspirations of racing in Europe, this is a set back for the team. Team owner Michael Ball issued a statement.

“We’re obviously very disappointed but are working diligently to satisfy every requirement that is being asked of us. We are committed to doing whatever it takes to ensure we can race next year.”

The UCI approved these teams for Pro Continental status.
