In 2015, Cervélo disappeared from the WorldTour as its former team Garmin-Sharp merged with Cannondale to form Team Cannondale-Garmin. It's fair to say that the Canadian brand's bikes never really left men’s pro racing, with the then MTN-Qhubeka team managing wildcard entries into some of the biggest races. But for 2016 the South-African registered outfit, now named Dimension Data for Qhubeka, has stepped into the WorldTour ranks – and with that, Cervélo is properly back in the big league.
Having previously ridden for Garmin-Sharp and then Cannondale-Garmin before signing with Dimension Data on a two-year contract, Nathan Haas of Australia seems rather happy on his new Cervélo S5. Haas, who's a former mountain biker, clearly pays closer attention to his setup than many others in the peloton. Chat with the charismatic 26-year old about his bikes and he'll reel off weights of wheels, and the other little touches he prefers.
Off the bike, Haas is a popular personality within the cycling world, often to be found playing guitar or (until recently at least) promoting his successful Kickstarter campaign – the Attack the Pack card game.

Back in the game
Just one year out of the WorldTour…
Cervélo may only spent a year out of the WorldTour, but Haas is extremely happy to be back aboard one of its bikes – in this case the revised S5. Released for 2015, it's commonly used as an aero benchmark by many other leading brands.
Oh so trick...
