Career
In 2012, Hansen became the second Australian to complete all three Grand Tours – the Giro d'Italia, the Tour de France and the Vuelta a España – in a calendar year. He was the only rider to accomplish that feat in 2012, and the 32nd in cycling history.[2] In completing the 2015 Vuelta a España, his thirteenth grand tour in a row, he broke Bernardo Ruiz's 68-year-old record for consecutive grand tours completed.[3]
In 2013, Hansen broke away early in the seventh stage of the Giro d'Italia, a stage featuring numerous short and steep climbs. Hansen shed his breakaway companions and won in solo fashion in Pescara in pouring rain, more than a minute in advance of the chasing group.[4] In stage 19 of the 2014 Vuelta a España, Hansen attacked the peloton with 4 km to go and resisted to the disorganized chase to win solo.[5]
As an engineer Hansen has designed his own shoes and ridden with them on numerous occasions. He has also written software for his current team, Lotto-Soudal, which manages the team's logistics.[6]
He lives in Frýdlant nad Ostravicí, Czech Republic, and has since 2005.[7]
