Interesting Facts

Australian cyclist Adam Hansen, known as the 'Crocodile Man,' has twice won the Crocodile Trophy, which is a two week mountain bike race that many consider to be the most grueling race on the planet. This former triathlete and talented cyclist possesses an incredible engine. Hansen's tests with his former team T-Mobile's doctor produced impressive results and revealed his potential for world class performances. He rides in what some see as an unconventional manner, by attacking repeatedly, driving breaks and in the end, out powering others.
