Rohan Dennis (born 28 May 1990) is an Australian former cyclist, who competed professionally in the track and road disciplines of the sport for five different teams.
On 31 December 2023, he was arrested and charged with causing death by dangerous driving, driving without due care, and endangering life, after the vehicle that he was allegedly driving killed his wife Melissa Hoskins in Adelaide.
Dennis joined Garmin–Sharp for the 2013 season,[11] and made his Tour de France debut later in the year, pulling out of the race before Stage 9.[12] Having won the young rider classification at the Critérium du Dauphiné in June,[13] Dennis took his first victories for the team at September's Tour of Alberta, where he won the third stage from a six-rider group and maintained his overall lead over the final two stages.[14][15]
Dennis started the 2015 season at home in Australia, finishing second at the Australian National Time Trial Championships, before winning a stage on his way to the overall victory at the Tour Down Under.[21][22] On 8 February, he set a new hour record of 52.491 kilometres (32.616 miles), beating Matthias Brändle's record by 639 metres (2,096 feet).[23] The record stood until 2 May, when it was broken by Alex Dowsett.[24] Dennis was selected to ride the Tour de France as part of the BMC Racing Team squad supporting Tejay van Garderen.[25] He won the opening individual time trial stage, to take the first yellow jersey of the race. His average speed of 55.446 km/h (34.5 mph) for the 13.8-kilometre (8.6-mile) route established a new record average speed for a Tour de France individual time trial stage.[26][27] Following the Tour de France, Dennis won two successive stages and the overall classification at the USA Pro Cycling Challenge,[28][29] and was a member of the BMC Racing Team squad that won the team time trial at the UCI Road World Championships.[30] He won the Sir Hubert Opperman medal and trophy for Australia's best all-round cyclist in 2015.[31]
2016
Dennis took his first elite national road title at the Australian National Time Trial Championships in January, finishing 38 seconds clear of his closest rival, Richie Porte.[32] He then won the sixth stage individual time trial at May's Tour of California,[33] and ultimately finished the race in second overall, behind Julian Alaphilippe.[34] He was a contender for a medal in the road time trial at the Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro, but a broken handlebar forced him to change bikes, finishing fifth on the day.[35][36] Dennis added a further second-place overall finish at September's Tour of Britain,[37] winning the penultimate stage after attacking 2 kilometres (1.2 miles) prior to the finish in Bristol.[38] Having won the individual time trial on stage 2 and been part of the team time trial win on stage 5,[39][40] Dennis led the Eneco Tour by 16 seconds going into the final day, but he withdrew from the race due to a crash.[41]
Dennis at the 2018 Giro d'Italia, where he became the third Australian rider to wear the leader's jersey at all three Grand Tours
Having won a third consecutive title in the Australian National Time Trial Championships in January,[48] Dennis took a stage victory in the individual time trial at the Abu Dhabi Tour,[49] which moved him into the race lead prior to the final day; he ultimately finished ninth overall, after losing time on the uphill finish to Jebel Hafeet.[50] He added a further individual time trial stage win at Tirreno–Adriatico,[51] while also finishing in the top ten overall at the Tour de Romandie. At the Giro d'Italia, Dennis was narrowly defeated in the opening time trial in Jerusalem by Tom Dumoulin.[52] However, he took the race leader's pink jersey the following day, by picking up a time bonus in an intermediate sprint. In doing so, he became the first Australian to lead the Giro d'Italia since Simon Clarke in 2015, and the third Australian to wear the leader's jersey in all three Grand Tours, after Bradley McGee and Cadel Evans.[53] He held the lead as the race returned to Italy, ultimately losing the lead after stage 6, which finished at Mount Etna.[54] He went on to win the stage 16 time trial and finished the race in 16th place overall, 56 minutes and 7 seconds down on winner Chris Froome.[55]
In August 2018, it was announced that Dennis would join Bahrain–Merida in 2019 on a two-year deal, making the move from BMC Racing Team alongside team-mates Damiano Caruso and Dylan Teuns.[61] He made his first start in team colours at the Australian National Time Trial Championships, where he was beaten to the title by Luke Durbridge.[62] He did not win until June's Tour de Suisse, when he won the opening individual time trial stage, on his way to an overall finish of second place behind Egan Bernal.[63][64] On 18 July, he abandoned the Tour de France during Stage 12. No reason was immediately given,[65] but later reports indicated that his abandonment was the result over frustration with equipment provided by the team.[66] In an interview he subsequently gave in January 2020, Dennis stated that he left the Tour de France as his mental health was suffering due to difficulties with the team, and he feared that this would have a knock-on effect on his marriage.[67]
On 25 September, Dennis raced for the first time since abandoning the Tour de France, defending his time trial title at the UCI Road World Championships in Yorkshire.[68][69] Dennis rode an unmarked BMC bicycle during the race, rather than his trade Merida machine. Several days later, his former team Bahrain–Merida confirmed that they had parted ways with Dennis on 13 September.[66] Dennis filed a complaint against the team with the Union Cycliste Internationale (UCI), intimating that he should be paid by the team until the end of his original contract in 2020; the UCI later dismissed the complaint the following summer.[70]
Team Ineos (2020–2021)
On 9 December 2019, it was announced that Dennis would be joining Team Ineos for the 2020 season.[71] The following month Dennis stated that he had abandoned his attempts to become a contender for the general classification in Grand Tours; instead, he would focus on smaller stage races and working as a domestique in the three-week races.[67]
In May 2017, Dennis' partner, fellow racing cyclist Melissa Hoskins, announced the couple's engagement as well as her retirement from competition.[93] They married in February 2018.[94] Hoskins gave birth to their first child, a son, later that year, two and a half weeks after Dennis won his first World Time Trial Championship.[95] As of 2017 the family were splitting their time between Girona, La Massana, and Adelaide.[93] They subsequently had another child.[96]
On 31 December 2023, Dennis was arrested and charged with causing death by dangerous driving, driving without due care, and endangering life, after he had allegedly fatally injured Hoskins while driving a ute in the Adelaide suburb of Medindie. He was released on bail, and appeared in the Adelaide Magistrates Court, in March 2024;[96][97] his bail was later extended to August 2024.[98]
