Jerry Ryan is in mining, Jaco Carvans, horse racing and also made a mint in developing the Walking with the Dinosaurs show through his company. He is also on the on the board / part owner of Bike Exchange. He was also president of Cycling Australia and sponsors a number of sporting teams (mainly womens netball and Basket ball) as well as a number of olympic athletes and had a part in Melbourne Storm (NRL). 

 

With Chavez and the Yates twins as good prospects then they howe to bulk up the GC firepower else their key riders are going to continue to be as Isolated as they have at the Giro, Vuelta and Tour. 

thanks, well from backstage pass he comes across as a real solid bloke that's happy to share his esky with anyone worth talking to

 You bloody legend. :)

 

I rate him, he is one of the few people who put alot of his own money into womens sport and actively backs a lot of the female olympic hopefuls. If you weren't switched on you'd think here was a good old codger and would think he was the bus driver!

Big Dog Martin is leaving the Etixx stable for Katusha. Wouldn't have picked that one. 

 

"Tony Martin will ride for Katusha in 2017 after signing a two-year deal with the Russian squad. The three-time world time trial champion joins Katusha after five seasons at Etixx-QuickStep.

 
“I am excited to come to this strong team. Team Katusha showed last year that it was a winning team and, honestly, I really like the Katusha jersey. I will be proud to wear it in 2017 and 2018,” Martin said.
 
Martin’s early years at Etixx-QuickStep saw him cement his status as the world’s pre-eminent time triallist, but he lost his world title to Bradley Wiggins in Ponferrada in 2014 and fell short at last week’s Olympic Games time trial in Rio, where he could only manage 12th place. Martin had taken silver in the discipline at the London 2012 Olympics.
 
Canyon have supplied bikes to Katusha since 2012, and the German manufacturer played a role in enticing Martin to make the switch to the team. “Moreover, I also really like their Canyon bikes, and this is important for me as a TT rider,” Martin said.
