Australian Adam Hansen has signed with German T-Mobile for the coming season. The team has not yet confirmed the transfer but Hansen told Cyclingnews that he signed the contract and sent it back to the team. Hansen, 26, has ridden for Austrian teams for the last few seasons, but is best known for being cycling's "Crocodile Man", having won Australia's Crocodile Trophy twice. The event has been described as "probably the hardest bike race on the planet," and Hansen said, "You can't explain the Crocodile Trophy, I wish I could but there are no words to explain it, it's a mental race. Its hard as hell, physically and mentally. It's a race that takes you so far out of your comfort zones, you wish you never signed the start sheet."
