My Take
I love a good Grand Tour stage hunter, and Heinrich Haussler is a fascinating one. Winning stages at both the Vuelta and the Tour de France is no small feat; on any given day the world's strongest riders are all aiming for that same finish line. To take the day twice, in two different Grand Tours, takes opportunism, power and pure nerve. He raced as a professional from 2004 until 2023, nearly two decades of suffering on the bike, which earns my admiration on its own. An Australian with German heritage, carrying two countries down the road, gives his career a romance I genuinely enjoy.
