Daniel Clark OAM[1] (born 30 August 1951)[2] is an Australian former track cyclist and road bicycle racer, 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.
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.
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.
