Michael Rogers

Michael Rogers is an Australian retired professional road racing cyclist, born on 20 December 1979, who raced professionally from 1999 to 2016. He won the world time trial championship three times in a row, in 2003, 2004 and 2005, the first after David Millar was disqualified for doping. He finished fourth in the 2004 Olympic road time trial in Athens and was later awarded the bronze medal when Tyler Hamilton was stripped of the title. He won stages of the Giro d'Italia and, in 2014, stage 16 of the Tour de France, and in 2010 he won the Tour of California. A congenital heart condition forced his retirement in April 2016, and he later worked for the UCI as innovation manager.
