Скачать или смотреть Chris Harper interview: getting to know Team Jayco AlUla's super-domestique

Chris Harper has been quietly establishing a reputation as one of the best Australian pro cyclists of his generation. He may not win a lot of races, but he enjoys contributing to the success of his team.
In 2024, his second season with Team Jayco AlUla, he is one of the key team-mates for Simon Yates and the Brit's bit for more Grand Tour glory... and, for all his qualities, Harper himself is hesitant about accepting the label of "Super-Domestique". Still, that's essentially what his job description is, and it's something he does in unassuming style.

This is part of a series of videos from #TDU2024. Interview recorded at the new Jayco Adelaide showroom shortly after the team launch on 15 January 2024.
