There’s no doubt we’ll be keeping our eye on the like of Bauer and Bennett, but this Aussie is also worth watching, as he might just pull off quite a coup come BikeExchange Stage 5 of the Santos Tour Down Under…
What makes Dan stand out from the pack is he’s a champion mountain biker (his normal day job is with Trek Factory Racing’s XC mountain biking team). And if you listen to the punters, he has every chance of upsetting the apple cart on what’s largely considered the race decider –
BikeExchange Stage 5’s hurt-fest Willunga Hill.
We caught up with Dan ahead of the Santos Tour Down Under to find out what he thinks his chances are, what it’s like making the leap from dirt to road and back, and just how good a knitter he really is…
