Gene Bates (born 4 July 1981 in Stirling) is an Australian cyclist, currently riding for the Drapac Porsche Cycling.[1]
Bates began his professional career in 2006 with the Italian team LPR Brakes. In 2003 Bates won the Australian Under 23 road championship, and he joined Crédit Agricole for a period as a stagiaire. This did not lead to a professional contract so he served a further period as a stagiaire for Saeco the following year. In the 2006 Tour Down Under he finished 5th overall.[2] He also put in a strong showing at the Tour de Langkawi, finishing second in a stage behind Laurent Mangel.[3]
