Describe yourself as a rider in one sentence:
Win or lose, success lies with the commentator!
Your best moment in cycling?
When I managed to out-climb Lappers in training up a mountain near Largo de Garda. This is closely followed by racing alongside my brother, and those times you get to throw your hands in the air at the end of a race.
Worst moment in cycling?
Going from training in Noosa, Australia at a beautiful 35degrees to being overpowered by shivering on a beautiful January day in the UK.
Favourite race you've ridden?
V8 super car crit Sydney: on a motor racing circuit in front on 100,000 drunk abusive car fanatics made a great atmosphere for all the aussie pro’s to tackle a track which was like a concrete jungle. And Tour of East Java, not many places you are the first foreign people to be seen and then going to the King's house to eat eel for dinner. Horrible race though!
Who would play you in a movie of your life?
Dean Downing, he doesn’t like hills and training solo but does like crits.
Cycling hopes for 2010?
The Tour Series and become more famous than Kristian House.
Favourite music album?
I appreciate the talent and beauty of METALLICA
Favourite film?

How do you relax?
Holidays with my girlfriend, we are serial tourists!
I am a cyclist because…
I love the challenge of racing and with the right team you have a brilliant lifestyle traveling with mates all over the world trying to conquer different courses and competition.
If I wasn't a cyclist I'd be…
A rally car driver.
How would you like to be remembered?
It doesn’t matter as long as I am remembered.
An interesting fact people are unlikely to know about you?
I am a qualified primary school teacher, that loves goat's cheese, thinks TV is overrated and is a Billy Cart champion.
