Sprinter Ivan Dominguez has re-signed with Rock Racing. Dominguez initially signed with Rock Racing before the 2009 season, but left the team in early January to accept a spot with ProTour squad Fuji-Servetto. After a five-month ProTour stint he returns to domestic racing based on the desire to be closer to his family and the races he loves.

Since turning professional in 2000, the 33-year-old Dominguez has won stages at the Amgen Tour of California, the Tour of Missouri and the defunct Tour de Georgia as well as many victories at major one-day races in the U.S.

“Racing in Europe was a great opportunity, but this is where I want to be,” Dominguez said. “(Rock Racing Team Owner) Michael Ball left the door open for me and I’m grateful for the chance to be a part of this team again.”

“We knew it was a dream of Ivan’s to race in Europe and completely supported his decision to pursue that dream,” Ball said. “I told Ivan he would always have a place on this team and I meant it. We are glad he’s back and look forward to his contributions throughout the rest of the season.”
