After completing his 16th straight Grand Tour at the Vuelta a Espana, Adam Hansen has vowed to try and extend the streak to 19 by the end of 2017.
“Next year I will do it again. We’ll see how far I will go,” Hansen said. “I have two more years with Lotto. It’s like a marriage — why break up when it’s working?” the 35 year old Australian told VeloNews.
Hansen, who has stage wins in the Giro and Vuelta, says he doesn’t feel like he needs to keep doing Grand Tours, but does it because he wants to.
“I don’t feel trapped by it. I choose to do it. I like racing in grand tours,” Hansen said. “I enjoy it. I enjoy the racing program and helping out the team.”
