Career

Born in Sankt Veit an der Glan,[5] Haller took his first win on the UCI World Tour, at the 2012 Tour of Beijing, in a mass sprint where he had the upper hand on established sprinters such as Alessandro Petacchi (Lampre–ISD) and Elia Viviani (Liquigas–Cannondale).[6] In 2015, he was the surprise winner of the Tour des Fjords after featuring in the last stage's breakaway.[7]

He was named in the start list for the 2015 Tour de France for the first time[8] where he got into the breakaway of the day on stage 16 and was caught by the bunch before the last climb of the day together with Adam Hansen.[9] He won the Austrian National Road Race Championships in 2015.[10] In May 2019, he was named in the startlist for the 2019 Giro d'Italia.[11]
