Former pro cyclist Rohan Dennis pleaded guilty to driving while banned.

Rohan Dennis, a former pro cyclist and two-time Olympian, admitted to driving while disqualified. He was banned from driving for five years after getting a suspended sentence last year for events leading to his wife Melissa Hoskins' death.

Melissa Hoskins died after being hit by a car driven by Dennis near their home. Police caught Dennis driving last month near where his wife died two and a half years ago.

When caught, Dennis had two children in the car, which was impounded for 28 days.

Rohan Dennis was reported for driving while banned in June.

In 2024, Dennis pleaded guilty to putting people in harm's way over his wife's death. She was also a two-time Olympian and a famous cyclist.

Prosecutors dropped charges of dangerous driving and not driving carefully against Dennis.

Dennis got a 17-month prison term, but it was suspended if he behaved well for two years.

The case of driving while banned has been sent to the District Court.

Dennis will return to court in September.
