Hindley becomes is the second Australian to win a Grand Tours Major Cycling Event, after Cadel Evans claimed the Tour De France in 2011.

“It was really frustrating because I finished 2020 with second place at the Giro and then I had really high expectations coming into 2021.”

“I wanted to prove to people, and more so myself, that I was capable of riding at that level and that 2020 wasn’t just a fluke,” Hindley says.
