Excerpt: Julian Dean (born 28 January 1975 in Waihi, New Zealand) is a road racing cyclist who rides for Orica-GreenEDGE. His main achievements include winning the 2007 and 2008 New Zealand National Road Race Championships, and finishing 9th in the 2005 World Road Championships in Madrid. This is one better than his 10th place finish in 2002 in Zolder. Dean is the son of Waimata dairy farmers Peter and Valerie Dean. "Grasshopper," as he was locally known, started cycling when he was just a child, beginning at the local BMX club in Waihi, where he had success with two 3rd place finishes in the New Zealand Championships. Dean tried his hand at many sports before moving onto triathlon, which he enjoyed. From triathlon Dean soon fell in love with cycling, where he represented New Zealand in road and track. In 1997 Dean got his chance to race in the U.S. with the Shaklee team and the Mercury cycling team in 1998. In 1999, Dean signed to the now defunct US Postal Service Pro Cycling Team, whom he rode for until 2001, gaining experience from racing in Europe. He managed his first european victories with 2 stage wins in the tour of Britain.After having ridden in a team based around Lance Armstrong Dean went looking for new opportunities. He got them by joining CSC-Tiscali in 2002. However, his joy was short-lived when Dean broke his leg in March 2002 and was out for three months. He took a stage win in the short stage race Tour de Wallonie taking the leaders jersey & holding on to win the overall race beating some of the worlds best riders to the victory including a great tussle with Italy's star rider Michele Bartoli. In 2004 he signed to Credit Agricole as a lead out man for sprinter Thor Hushovd. He finished 8th behind stage winner Tom Boonen in Stage 6 of the Tour de France. He missed the 2005 edition of the Tour due to an injury incurred in the 2005 Giro d'Italia. He later returned for the 2006 edition.
