Michael Hepburn has announced he will focus on the 2016 Rio Summer Olympic Games. According to the Advertiser, the Orica GreenEDGE rider will be back on the track in order to prepare for the event.
"It's been a few years since I’ve been on the track," the Australian rider explained. "It's also a completely new group of riders and staff compared with my time in the program for London. I've followed the boys in the team pursuit over the past few years and have noticed how this discipline continually gets faster and more specific. It's going to be a big ask coming from long road tours and adjusting the body to fire over that four minute effort again," he added. "I'm very excited about the challenge and confident that we can build a program right up until the big goal in August next year."
