Hayman looking to return to Paris-Roubaix top 10

Through all the hype in the build-up to Paris-Roubaix, you’d be hard pushed to find much about Orica-GreenEDGE outside of their native Australia. The team from down under lack the Fabian Cancellara (Trek Factory Racing) and Tom Boonen (Omega Pharma-QuickStep) to hover up the column inches, but they still harbour ambitions of getting into the key moves with new signing Mat Hayman.

Born in Ireland to a cycling family and later moved to the Isle of Man, so there was no surprise when I got into the sport. Studied sports journalism at university before going on to do a Masters in sports broadcast. After university I spent three months interning at Eurosport, where I covered the Tour de France. In 2012 I started at Procycling Magazine, before becoming the deputy editor of Procycling Week. I then joined Cyclingnews, in December 2013.
