US Continental team Elevate-KHS continues to build its 2018 roster, adding Australian Scott Law from Cylance, Jordan Cheyne from Jelly Belly-Maxxis and US amateur time trial champion George Simpson from Gateway Harley Davidson. The team previously announced renewing with Canadian James Piccoli and Mexican sprinter Jose Alfredo Rodriguez.
Law, 26, spent last season with US Continental team Cylance after having ridden for the Australian Avanti team the past two years. Law's top-end speed played into the Cylance lead-out train as well as his own victories.
“To see Scott win the biggest criterium in the US, Tulsa Tough, and then head to Canada to finish on the podium of the 100 mile White Spot-Delta UCI road race, shows just how much depth and commitment he has,” said Elevate-KHS director Heath Blackgrove. “We believe with our program we can help him progress and challenge the idea that Scott only shines in criteriums and shorter distance races.”

Law said he's excited by the opportunity to compete in longer races with his new team.
“I’ve always been very handy in criteriums, and I really want to prove to myself and everyone that I’m not just a criterium rider," he said. "I really want to help the team and target specific sprint stages in the big UCI events like the Tour of Utah, Colorado and Alberta. Seeing the Elevate-KHS team this year perform so well and really enjoy themselves both on and off the bike is something that I truly love and want to be a part of. You should feel like a family, and this team definitely has that feeling about it.”
Cheyne, a 26-year-old from Canada, has ridden with Jelly Belly the past two seasons, riding in support of Lachlan Morton in 2016 and Serghei Tvetcov this year. He finished seventh on the difficult Mont Megantic stage at the Tour de Beauce, where he finished third overall.
