Ryan Roth (born 10 January 1983) is a Canadian professional road bicycle racer riding for the UCI Professional Continental team Champion System. Prior to becoming a road cyclist, Roth also competed in the junior levels in mountain-biking and cyclo-cross; he was national junior cyclo-cross champion in 2000.[1]
Born in Kitchener, Ontario, Roth has competed as a professional since 2002, making his début with the Sympatico-Jet Fuel Coffee team. After a short stint with the Kelly Benefit Strategies-Medifast team,[2] Roth has competed for the SpiderTech-C10 team since its formation as a professional team at the start of 2008, when it was known as Team R.A.C.E. Pro.[3] 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,[4] finishing thirteen seconds clear of his nearest rival, Benoit Jarrier of Véranda Rideau U.[5] It was the first non-French victory in the race since Mark Renshaw in 2006,[6] and was his team's first victory of the year.[7] Roth also won the 2012 Elite Men's Canadian National Road Race Championship.
