Dylan Groenewegen renews with Team Jayco AlUla - "Winning at the Tour de France is the biggest goal"

Team Jayco AlUla have announced the signing of Caleb Ewan yesterday and they have confirmed to keep their current fast man. Dylan Groenewegen has agreed to sign a new contract with the Australian team and takes the team to a new level when it comes to sprinting ambitions.
“I’m really happy to sign this new contract with Team Jayco AlUla until 2025. Since joining the team, I have felt at home, and I believe this is the best place to be for my career and also to keep winning races," Groenewegen said in a press release. "We have already achieved a lot of special victories together in the last two seasons and the goal for me and the team is to achieve more. Winning at the Tour de France is the biggest goal and we managed this in my first year, we went close again this year, so this makes me more motivated for the next two years.”
Having signed with the Australian team in 2022, Groenewegen succeeded in taking a win at the Tour de France. He's taken quite a few wins, but only two at World Tour level - having also won at the UAE Tour this year. He had the speed but lacked something in some of the big races, however despite signing Ewan and keeping it's other leaders, the team was still keen on renewing with the Dutchman.
“We are delighted to have Dylan commit to our team for another year. He is one of the leaders of this team and it is important to keep hold of leaders like himself as we continue to strengthen in every department," team manager Brent Copeland said. "Everybody knows Dylan is one of the fastest riders in the world and we are fully committed to giving him everything he needs to win at the highest level. We have all learnt a lot in the last two years since Dylan joined us and with this we have grown as an organisation. We have really looked into adding power to the sprint group for next season to assist Dylan further, and we are confident Dylan will enjoy a lot more success with us over the next two years.”

- They couldn’t convict him criminally because he paid up to escape it (that weird American possibility that ensures not all are equal before the law). He was convicted civilly but technically for committing crime. I on the other hand live in a country where unexplained damage to a baby in your care in theory leads to minimum 5 years of prison, if you admit an accident it’s more lenient but telling the truth that you don’t know how a bump on the skull happened exposes you to the as much risk as some who murder and rape. The developed world doesn’t deserve that designationMistermaumau20-11-2024
- Doesn’t deserve criticism considering all he won with all the crashes plus how close he got to a TdF (Pog had luck). If Pog and Jonas battle and wipe each other out we have Remco and Primoz to put on a show.Mistermaumau20-11-2024
- Agreed. Until he can stay upright on his bike, he’s at best an incomplete for a grade. That doesn’t mean that on his best form he can’t win it all. We just haven’t seen it.mij20-11-2024

- After the Cian Saga, all contracts should have a release clause or at least a legal framework for contract breaking. this is getting ridiculous.abstractengineer20-11-2024
- Other than Pog, the other leaders are beatable and They contributed 56 wins. But when team strategy is to pit best leaders against Pog and so-so leaders against Hirschi, Yates, Mcnulty, that team is going to lose everything.abstractengineer20-11-2024
- The ones I know were great races, sure, but all of cycling history, and they're almost all from 2010 to now? Yeah no. I mean, great choices, some amazing stages, watched many of them live, have re-watched many of them when I could, but really this is 8 great races from the past 15 years, plus two others.RidesHills19-11-2024
