Another new member to the Toyota-United Pro Cycling Team, Hilton Clarke hales from Australia. He comes to us after 3 years 2005-2007 with the Navigators Pro Cycling Team.  Hilton?s father, a previous Olympic Cyclist, introduced Hilton to cycling at the age of 9.  Hilton loves racing and has a reputation as a fast sprinter.  Hilton very much views the sport of cycling like a good game of chess, a very cerebral rider indeed. He is motivated to race as hard as the next guy because he feels he has the mental stamina to finish them off in the end. 

His most memorable cycling moment came in 2006 when he won the US PRO Championships in Downers Grove, IL.  Hilton is excited to have his younger brother Jonny joining him on the Toyota-United Pro Cycling Team for the 2008 season.
