David McKenzie was a professional cyclist for 9 years. He won a stage of the 2000 Giro d’Italia and is a former Australian National Road Champion. Since retiring at the end of 2005 he has worked as an expert analyst and commentator for Australian TV Broadcaster SBS, whilst also working as a cycling coach back home in Australia.

David traveled extensively during his Pro cycling career on various teams from Europe to Asia via the USA, but started his career based in Italy, and returned to live there for 2 years after his retirement. He's very familiar with Italy and has a soft spot for the Giro with arguably the biggest win of career coming on Italian soil.  We have managed to pull him away from the TV cameras for this trip, so that you can benefit from his experience firsthand. Better still, David is a very easy going person who loves a good local meal and drink, he is also a great story teller. Needless to say the evenings can be fascinating and quite humorous.
