Adam Hansen (Gold Coast, Australia) 27

Affectionately known as "Croc man" due to his success in Australia's Crocodile Trophy MTB race, Adam is quiet and intelligent but underneath his calm disposure is one hard man who never complains of discomfort. In 2007 Adam had a vertical learning curve on how to be a Pro rider after missing much of the development most riders get in their youth, because he started on the road so late in his career. If he can consolidate on this years experience we can expect some good results from the "Croc man" in 2008.

It's great to be part of the team's new anti-doping campaign. It's going to make me very comfortable to join a ProTour team with this way of thinking. This team is now a role model for the other teams to follow and why would any rider not want to be part of something great that's going to help our sport? - Adam in an interview with Cyclingnews 2006

I get up in the morning because that's what humans do, I train, because it's my job and I love my job!
