Torbjørn Røed emerged on the US road racing scene in 2022 when he began to post a number of results with a Canadian Continental-level team and a collegiate programme. The next year he surged to the forefront on gravel, winning Belgian Waffle Ride Kansas and Big Sugar Gravel, and now people know how to pronounce his name, sort of.
Røed won a stage at the Tour of the Gila for the small Yoeleo Test Team p/b 4MindProject and finished third overall two years ago. Later in 2022 he would accumulate five gold medals across three disciples at US collegiate nationals riding for Colorado Mesa University, including the road race national title. He also added a fifth overall at the UCI 2.2 Joe Martin Stage Race.
