A familiar face will get back on the bike with the Discovery Channel Pro Cycling Team when 16-year Australian veteran, Matt White joins the team for 2006.
Riding for the French Cofidis team for the last 2 years, White won a stage in the 2005 Tour Down Under, had a top five finish in the Australian Open Road Championship and represented Australia in the 2004 Olympics.
Back in the 2001-2003 seasons, White donned the now-familiar red, white and blue team kit of Lance Armstrong´s USPS Pro Cycling Team. White was part of the winning team at the Spanish 2003 Vuelta a España that saw Roberto Heras begin his dominance of that event.
During his USPS tenure he had top ten finishes at the Tour de Picardie, Four Days of Dunkerque, the Tour of Belgium and the Tour de la Région Wallone. He provided further excellent support at one day races like Milan-San Remo, the Tour of Flanders and Gent-Wevelgem and was known for being a solid teammate not only on the bike, but on the bus, too.
In 1999 and 2000, White was a member of the Italian Vini Caldirola team, which ranked third in the world for 2000. He was also a member of the Australian Olympic Road Team in Sydney.
Prior to joining Vini Caldirola, White raced primarily in Australia and New Zealand, with occasional races in Canada, Japan and Europe, where he racked up many victories. He had several major placings in international tours throughout 1996, including third in the Rund um die Nuernberger Altstadt, Germany´s largest one-day race. Matt distinguished himself as a valued member of the Australian Road Cycling Team at the 1998 Commonwealth Games, where he helped Jay Sweet win gold.
