Alex Rhodes was born on this day in 1984 in Alice Springs. After a very promising early track career, Alex was seriously injured in a road accident in 2005 that led to the death of team-mate Amy Gillett, but she returned the following year to win one stage of the Bay Classic and two bronze medals at the Australian National Track Championships. Since then, she has won three more stages at the Bay Classic and a bronze at the National Time Trial Championships. In 2011, she came 5th overall in the Ladies' Tour of Qatar and became Australian Elite Road Race Champion.
