Dominique Rollin(born 29 October 1982) is a Canadian former professional cyclist.[1]
Born inBoucherville,Quebec,Rollin began his professional career in 2001 with the team Sympatico High Speed-Jet Fuel Coffee and again the following year, 2002 with Sympatico Edition Haute Vitese. He then spent three years in France racing as an elite amateur under director-sportifGuy Gallopinfor the Roubaix team. After having issues with the way he was treated during Roubaix's transition to a professional team,[2]he returned to North America to ride for theKodakgallery.com - Sierra Nevada Brewing Co.team.
For 2008 Rollin joined theToyota-Unitedteam, with whom he won the Rochester Omnium and the fourth stage of theTour of California.He won the stage with a nearly seven-hour breakaway in a driving rainstorm, just holding off his fellow breakaway companions after attacking near the finish.[3]Thanks to that performance, he grabbed the lead in the sprints classification and would defend the jersey successfully for the remainder of the race.[4]
In 2009 he got his chance to join a major European professional team in the Swiss-based, Canadian-sponsoredCervélo TestTeam,with his best result of the year coming at the Scheldeprijs semi-classic where he reached the podium with a third place. In October 2010, he signed for two years with theProTourteamFDJ.
Rollin initially retired from racing at the end of 2013 after being unable to secure a contract for the 2014 season. However, in August 2014Cofidisannounced that they had signed Rollin alongside his former FDJ teammatesNacer BouhanniandGeoffrey Soupefor 2015.[5]
