Interesting Facts

Not many professional cyclists have a resume like Stuart O'Grady, as he has won stages in Grand Tours and consistently placed well in top tier races throughout his long career. He started the sport in track cycling, and his first major result was his silver medal in the Men's Team Pursuit (4000m) of the 1992 Summer Olympics in Barcelona. He recovered from a horrendous crash at the 07 Tour de France, and came back in 08, posting three top 10 stage finishes in the Tour Down Under and placing 5th at Paris-Roubaix. O'Grady has also set up and financially supports an Australian junior cycling development team, Team O'Grady.
