Chirpy, animated and happily giving interviews, Jack Haig looks like he has just ridden to the shops. Around him are shattered riders, professionals who have dragged themselves to the top of the Mur de Huy and show all the signs of a tough Flèche Wallonne with its exhausting final climb. But, other than some dirt on his face, some dust on his jersey, Haig appears unaffected.

One of the most promising neo-pros expected to shine in 2016 is Jack Haig, whose impending debut in the World Tour is heralded by some very strong results he got as an amateur during the previous season in such races as Tour Down Under, Giro della Valle d’Aosta, Tour Alsace and Tour de l’Avenir. In the latter of the these, the now 22-year-old was the leader of Australia’s national team and put on a steady performance in the mountains, which netted him a second place in the overall standings, just 1:09 behind the winner, Spain’s and Movistar’s Marc Soler, a cyclist who was already accustomed to the World Tour level and rigors.

Jack Haig started cycling in Bendigo, at a local mountain bike club, and at first he wasn’t thinking about becoming a rider. But things changed after being selected for the U19 World Championships, when he decided to train properly in order to be in the best possible shape. All that hard work helped Jack finish in the top 50, a result that gave him the confidence needed to carry on, with the long-term goal of becoming a professional rider.

La sélection australienne Espoirs version 2014 se veut décidemment très complète et riche en talents. On connaissait le sprinter Caleb Ewan ou le rouleur Campbell Flakemore. Et bien désormais, il faudra également compter sur le grimpeur Jack Haig (Avanti Racing Team), tout aussi à l’aise d’ailleurs dans l’effort solitaire que lors des ascensions. Récent deuxième du Tour Alsace avec son équipe nationale - à seulement six secondes du vainqueur tchèque Karel Hnik -, il avait également pris la 3e place du Tour de Corée, la 3e place de l’Herald Sun Tour et surtout, la 17e place du Tour Down Under en début de saison avec UniSA-Australia, maillot de meilleur jeune à la clef. Le coureur de 20 ans s’apprête maintenant à découvrir le Tour de l’Avenir, épreuve sur laquelle il pourrait en surprendre plus d’un. DirectVelo.com s’est entretenu avec « the Aussie ».
