Zakkari Dempster

"To win a race in the professional ranks myself and to be an asset to NetApp-Endura winning as a team as much as possible all season!"

Like many Australian riders, Zak has a background in track racing. He is an all-rounder who can be relied on for many different tasks. He can lead out the sprinters or sprint himself from small groups. The classic races really suit his racing style, so he is a great fit for Team NetApp - Endura as they continue their efforts here. At only 24 years old, he already shows the maturity of a leader when racing. Next season with Team NetApp – Endura he will ride in the classic rider division, as one of the pace makers for the sprinters.
