Rohan Dennis will be present at the start of three rounds of the CIC Cervelo Super Series in Adelaide, Australia, during the summer season. The BMC Racing Team rider will take part in the Victoria Park criteriums (on November 26 and December 3) and the Norton Summit time trial (on December 6).

Interviewed by the local newspaper The Advertiser, Dennis told: "It's good on both parts — for myself and for Cycling SA. It's exactly where I started and came through so why not try to give something back. I'm there primarily for training and hopefully I can help out the race and the series."

"I spent a month on the sidelines after the worlds and you know you've had a good break when people aren't throwing food at you," said Dennis. "Coming out of the Tour de France I had a six-week block at altitude, one week of racing then worlds, " he added. "It was hard to keep weight on but I'm looking like a normal person again."

The third event involves a test against the clock on one of Adelaide's most well-known climbs. "I know it (Norton Summit) pretty well, I'll have a crack up there and try to take the top time but it depends on whether it's a block head wind."
