Hamish Bond in the 2017 World Championships.
Hamish Bond has continued his successful transition from Olympic rowing champion to cyclist, taking the 2018 New Zealand national time trial title – and all but securing a ride in the forthcoming Commonwealth Games.
Bond made an impact in his debut national TT last year when he finished third behind Jack Bauer and Jason Christie. After focussing on his time trialling in the past 12 months, the 31-year-old took to the top step. It's a familiar spot for Bond, who won gold medals at the 2012 and 2016 Olympic Games in the coxless pair and claimed eight rowing world titles between 2007-2015.
