Alessandro De Marchi extends his contract at Jayco AlUla through next season
CyclingTuesday, 17 October 2023 at 04:00
Experienced Italian Alessandro De Marchi will continue with Team Jayco AlUla in 2024 after signing a new one-year deal. The 37-year-old was a late addition to the team for the 2023 season but has more than proved his worth with a series of strong and impressive performances, particularly at the Giro d’Italia, where he got agonisingly close to victory on a number of occasions.
"I am very happy with the reality I encountered here. Despite my very late arrival in the team, I immediately felt that I was appreciated and valued for my qualities. This was a fundamental factor in feeling like I was in a new start, a new chapter."
"The most natural continuation of this feeling is the renewal for another season. I look to next season with great optimism, confident that I will be placed in an excellent working environment and aware that I will have everyone’s support to continue to improve."
With no less than 17 Grand Tour starts under his belt, De Marchi brings great experience which has been a huge asset to the team in all areas and particularly assisting the new generation of riders. Passing on the cycling know-how to his younger teammates is something the team expects from De Marchi in the next season too.

- I didn't know there was a problem in Italian cycling. Sure, there hasn't been an Italian win a grand tour in recent years, but if we are using that as a metric, then every country in the world other than Slovenia and Denmark are in big trouble!Pogboom26-11-2024

- Here he is again, giving real answers! Love it. As a fan, I had not really paid attention but agree with what he says. Between Pogacar and van der Poel, with their attacks from 50k and more, the racing is simply different. At the grand tours, it's that kind of attacking every day, as well (e.g., even when he didn't want to, other teams goaded Pogacar into racing for the win at the Tour). I can imagine how hard that is for a rider, but for me as a fan it's certainly a lot of fun to watch.RidesHills25-11-2024
- Wrong, CrashJames. Frankie a ringleader of the Motorola doping scheme along with Armstrong. Armstrong made his career. And Lemond--you are still clinging to his miracle of "iron injections"? Bless your heart.
MarkFour25-11-2024 - Wrong. Bassons himself said that leaving pro cycling was the best thing that ever happened to him. You don't belong in these comments, or anywhere near a bike.MarkFour25-11-2024
- Agree, it is incomplete to omit the doped peloton. Lance was just better at it, a bigger liar, and vindictively went after people to protect the secret. Look how many results had to be restated, where other riders were also stripped of their results, and the problems ex us postal riders faced because their doping programs were not as good as postal. Why we continue to spend any time on this a$$h0le is beyond me.Crashjames25-11-2024
