Stuart Hayes was the man British Triathlon turned to in 2012 when then needed someone who could swim like a fish and bike like the wind. They needed someone who was fast enough in the water that he could keep up with the Brownlees - no mean feat in itself - and then was powerful enough on the bike that he could control the race - chase down breaks, and keep the pace so high that no one had the ability to break away. He did his job to perfection, and played a pivotal role in Team GB winning Gold and Bronze that day.
