A drama in Australian cycling. Retired from sports since the end of the season, Rohan Dennis was arrested in Adelaide on Saturday evening by Australian police for the murder of his wife, according to several local media including the 9News Adelaide channel. Officially still under contract with Jumbo-Visma, the 33-year-old man allegedly hit his wife with his car.
A couple with two children
The terrible scene would have taken place a few meters from the family home. 2015 track cycling team pursuit world champion, Melissa Hoskins (32) was taken to hospital, where she died. The couple had been married since February 2018 and had two children since then.
Rohan Dennis was also trained on the track before moving to the road in 2013, notably becoming a double time trial world champion. In 2015, Dennis wore the yellow jersey for one day at the Tour de France following his victory in the prologue. He also wore the leader’s jersey in the Tour of Italy and the Tour of Spain, with other stages under his belt.
Rohan Dennis joined Jumbo-Visma, his last team, in 2022. Last February, the athlete announced the end of his career at the end of this 2023 season. Melissa Hoskins had been retired from the slopes since May 2017 and the announcement of her engagement to Dennis.
