Adam Hansen is an Australian professional road bicycle racer for UCI ProTour Lotto-Belisol. 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 Espa�a ? in a calendar year. He was the only rider to accomplish that feat in 2012, and the 32nd in cycling history. Hansen completed all three grand tours for consecutive years in 2013 and currently has ridden and finished in the last ten grand tours he has participated. He is the first Australian to have achieved this feat. 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. In stage 19 of the 2014 Vuelta a Espa�a, Hansen attacked the peloton with 4 km to go and resisted to the disorganized chase to win solo. Hansen likes to rib his teammates by posting funny pictures of them on his Twitter account. He is affable, intelligent and well liked among the peloton.
