A major step forward for 26-year-old Kiwi Jack Bauer.

Bauer's signed with major pro-team Garmin Cervelo and will join up with them next year.

He follows in the footsteps of veteran compatriot Julian Dean.

Bauer says the team fits him well.

He says he couldn't have asked for a better team to join.

Jack Bauer believes New Zealand road cycling is at its strongest point, with several young riders moving into top pro teams.
