Former Olympian Cyclist Seeks New Judge After Guilty Plea

Former Olympian cyclist Rohan Dennis pleaded guilty in July to driving while disqualified.

He had already received a suspended sentence and a five‑year driving ban for the crash in December 2023 that killed his wife, Melissa Hoskins, a two‑time Olympian cyclist, when his car hit her outside their Medindie home in Adelaide.

Dennis’s lawyer, Craig Caldicott, said he will apply for a recusal of the sentencing judge. He said the application is appropriate, but did not give details at this time.

The case will return to court later this month, and a new judge could decide whether Dennis will face jail time.

Changing the judge is a legal move that can influence how the sentencing is handled in a high‑profile case.
