Career

Early career

Born in Brisbane, Queensland, Australia, Haas was originally a mountain biker, and represented Australia in two UCI World Championships. However, in 2009, Haas switched to road racing.

Praties (2009–2011)

In 2011, after dominating Australia's domestic National Road Series with Genesys Wealth Advisers teammate Steele Von Hoff, Haas won the Herald Sun Tour.[6][7] Haas also won the Japan Cup,[8] a race featuring numerous UCI ProTeams. After his victory, Haas turned professional, signing with Garmin–Barracuda.[9][10]

Garmin–Barracuda (2012–2015)

During Haas' first professional season, he struggled with severe saddle sores.[11] Following Jonathan Tiernan-Locke's doping ban, Haas was retroactively awarded the 2012 Tour of Britain title; he originally finished second to Tiernan-Locke.[12] During the 2013 season, Haas finished sixth overall at the Tour de Langkawi,[13] and competed in his first Grand Tour, the Giro d'Italia.[14] While riding the 2014 Tour Down Under, Haas garnered his first UCI World Tour point,[15] before finishing the race fifth overall.[16]

He was named in the start list for the 2015 Tour de France.[17]

Dimension Data (2016–2017)

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.[18]

Team Katusha–Alpecin (2018–2019)

In February 2018, Haas won stage 2 of the Tour of Oman in an uphill sprint finish and moved into the overall leader's jersey.[19] It was his first victory since 2016 and his first for Team Katusha–Alpecin. He finished fifth overall in the race, winning the points classification in the process. He also recorded a podium placing at the Tour of Turkey.[20]

Personal life

Haas currently resides in Girona, Catalonia, Spain.[1]
