Brett Lancaster
His greatest successes as a road cyclist were winning the prologue of the Giro d'Italia, and thus wearing the race general classification leader's pink jersey. He set a time of 1' 20" for the 1.15-kilometre (0.71-mile) race against the clock, the shortest prologue in the 88-year history of the event. Brett Lancaster is the first member of the Italian registered team, Ceramica Panaria–Navigare, to ever claim the pink jersey.
He won a gold medal at the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens as a member of the team pursuit (with Graeme Brown, Bradley McGee, and Luke Roberts) in world record-breaking time of 3:58.233.
He was awarded the Order of Australia Medal (OAM) in the 2005 Australia Day Honours List.[5] He was an Australian Institute of Sport scholarship holder.[6]
Lancaster retired from cycling after the 2015 season, and moved to become a directeur sportif for Team Sky in 2016.[7]
