Tim Van Berkel

Tim grew up in Albury, Australia, where he played Australian Rules Football (AFL). He stumbled across triathlon during the off-season when he and some of his teammates decided to do triathlon to keep fit. He entered his first triathlon at age 18, and three years later was racing as a professional. The 2015 season was Tim's first as a Giant global athlete. He helped develop the new Trinity Advanced Pro bike and plays a key role in working with Giant to develop triathlon-specific gear and apparel. Giant is also Tim's official helmet sponsor, and he uses the Rivet TT helmet for Ironman races. You can follow him on Instagram or Facebook, or check out his website at www.timberkel.com
