Hilton Clarke leaves UnitedHealthcare's crit squad
One of the founding members of UnitedHealthcare's 'blue train' criterium squad was not renewed for next season, Hilton Clarke, but the veteran Australian wants to continue racing.
Clarke was missing from UHC's 2016 roster announcement yesterday, but posted on his personal Facebook page last month that he was not offered a contract.

"The last three years I have predominantly raced with these 5 riders. Adrian Hegyvary, Brad White, Karl Menzies, Carlos Alzate, Luke Keough," Clarke wrote. "They are some of the most loyal and accountable blokes I have ever come across."
Clarke started with UnitedHealthcare in 2010, but had a long history of racing in the USA, beginning with NetZero in 2001. He spent three years with the Navigators before having a brief stint in the WorldTour with Fuji-Servetto in 2009. He spent the last several years as a key lead-out man and sprinter for UnitedHealthcare.
"In these three years I almost exclusively only raced in the NCC (National Crit Calendar). I have competed in 71 NCC races. I have won 12 of them but most importantly and what I'm most proud of is as a team we won 61 of them - 61/71! Amazing!"
