Career
editBorn in Kitchener, Ontario, Roth competed as a professional from 2002, making his début with the Sympatico–Jet Fuel Coffee team. After a short stint with the Kelly Benefit Strategies–Medifast team,[4] Roth competed for the SpiderTech–C10 team from its formation as a professional team at the start of 2008, when it was known as Team R.A.C.E. Pro.[5] Having featured highly in several North and Central American races during his career, Roth won his first UCI Europe Tour race in April 2012, by winning the Tro-Bro Léon race. Roth soloed to victory in Lannilis after catching the breakaway and went clear of them,[6] finishing thirteen seconds clear of his nearest rival, Benoit Jarrier of Véranda Rideau U.[7] It was the first non-French victory in the race since Mark Renshaw in 2006,[8] and was his team's first victory of the year.[9] Roth also won the 2012 Canadian National Road Race Championships.[10]
