David Tanner (born 30 September 1984) is an Australian former professional road cyclist, who rode professionally between 2009 and 2018 for six different teams.

Career[edit]

In December 2014 he was announced as part of the squad for the IAM Cycling team for 2015, alongside fellow Belkin Pro Cycling rider Stef Clement.[1] In September 2016, shortly before the disbanding of the IAM squad, Tanner suffered multiple injuries after being hit by a car whilst training, resulting in him spending three weeks in intensive care. The following year he joined the Vérandas Willems–Crelan team in July, after agreeing a deal to the end of the year with team manager Nick Nuyens, Tanner's former teammate at Saxo Bank–SunGard.[2]
