Last week when I was making the rounds and photographing all the 2015 WorldTour team bikes at the Tour Down Under I noticed that many of the mechanics I was asking permission from were not French, Belgian, Italian, Dutch, etc. They were Australian. To be precise – they were from Adelaide. That got me asking: how did they get into being a WorldTour mechanic and helper for just one week a year? It’s not an easy job, but for many cycling enthusiasts, it’s a dream job. Here are a few of their stories.
