description: "Robert \"Barry\" Waddell was an Australian cyclist of the 1960s. Waddell won a record 5 straight Herald Sun Tours from 1964 to 1968. Although best known as a road cyclist, Waddell was in fact an \"all-rounder\", having also won a number of national track titles. He won the Australian national road race title in 1964 and 1968. He won the general classification in the Herald Sun Tour five years in a row (1964-1968) when the Sun Tour was at its most gruelling, covering 1200 miles (1920 km) in nine days. Waddell took fastest-time honours in the Melbourne-to-Warrnambool road race no fewer than three times and won the Sir Hubert Opperman trophy twice, breaking Opperman's record from Adelaide to Melbourne. Subsequently, after his professional cycling career had finished, he also won the 1975 world veterans' title in Austria."
