}} Daniel "Danny" Clark OAM〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Clark, Daniel, OAM )〕 (born Launceston, Tasmania, 30 August 1951〔(Site du Cyclisme, Rider database, Danny Clark )〕) is a retired track cyclist and road bicycle racer from Australia, who was a professional rider from 1974 to 1997. He won five world championships and at the 1972 Summer Olympics in Munich, West Germany, came second in the 1,000m time trial.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Danny Clark Olympic Results )〕 Clark was often fastest finishing rider in six-day races, especially as Patrick Sercu slowed after the mid-1970s. Clark and the British rider, Tony Doyle, won many six-day races. Clark enjoyed the party atmosphere of the races, and continued to work in them as a Derny pacer after retiring. ==Biography== Clark began cycling on a bike borrowed from a local enthusiast, which he used for three months before acquiring his eldest brother's semi-racer.〔(Licorice Gallery, Interview with Danny Clark )〕 He became one of the most successful riders in six-day racing in the 1970s and 1980s, winning 74 races, second to Patrick Sercu's 88. Most of these wins came after a crash in the 1983 Frankfurt six-day which broke his hip. Clark still carries a plate inserted to help the fracture heal and said that when sprinting or climbing, only his right leg delivered full power.〔 Clark won the Australian one-mile penny-farthing championship in Evandale, Tasmania, in 1989, beating the Briton Doug Pinkerton and Matthew Driver.〔(Canberra Bicycle Museum, Article about Danny Clark sourced from "Freewheel" Issue 11, New Zealand )〕 He lives in Surfers Paradise, near Brisbane.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Danny Clark (cyclist)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
