Biography
Originally a mountain biker, Haas represented Australia in two UCI World Championships. However, in 2009, Haas switched to road racing.
In 2011, after dominating Australia's domestic National Road Series with Genesys Wealth Advisers teammate Steele Von Hoff, Haas won the 2011 Herald Sun Tour.[2][3] Haas also won the 2011 Japan Cup,[4] a race featuring numerous UCI ProTeams. After his victory, Haas turned professional, signing with Garmin–Cervélo.[5][6]
During Haas's first professional season, he struggled with severe saddle sores.[7] Following Jonathan Tiernan-Locke's doping ban, Haas was retroactively awarded the 2012 Tour of Britain title; he originally finished second to Tiernan-Locke.[8] During the 2013 season, Haas finished sixth overall at the Tour de Langkawi,[9] and competed in his first Grand Tour, the Giro d'Italia.[10] While riding the 2014 Tour Down Under, Haas garnered his first UCI World Tour point,[11] before finishing the race fifth overall.[12]
Born in Brisbane, Queensland, Australia, Haas currently resides in Girona, Catalonia, Spain.[1] He was named in the start list for the 2015 Tour de France.[13] In the autumn of 2015 Team Dimension Data announced that Haas had signed with them for the 2016 season, joining former team-mate Tyler Farrar at the South African outfit.[14]
