Hannos first raced her bike in 1996 and a year later was selected for the 1997 Tour Cycliste Féminin, the women's version of the Tour de France. She represented Canada at the 1998 XVI Commonwealth Games[3] in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, and was the only Canadian cyclist to compete in four events—the road race, individual time trial, individual pursuit and points race. Hannos has several career wins including gold in the criterium at the 2002 Canadian National Road Cycling Championships[4], one of ten career Canadian national championship medals. She notably finished 3rd overall in general classification (GC) at the 2002 Redlands Bicycle Classic[5] in California.
Coached by her father, Sandor (Alex) Hannos, an accomplished cyclist originally from Hungary, Hannos often trained and raced with her younger sister, Stephanie.[6] Both sisters rode for the American cycling team, Verizon Wireless, in 2001.[7]
Hannos retired from professional cycling at the end of 2004 after racing three seasons for the UCI team Équipe Cycliste RONA[8] from Québec. In 2011, she helped manage the Vancouver-based Trek Red Truck p/b Mosaic Homes Women's Cycling Team alongside mountain bike cross country Olympic silver medalist, Alison Sydor.[9]
