Giro d'Italia | Team Jayco AlUla seeks wins from Michael Matthews, Eddie Dunbar possible GC contender
CyclingTuesday, 02 May 2023 at 12:10
Team Jayco AlUla has geared up towards the Giro d'Italia and has revealed it's lineup this morning. Michael Matthews will be the leader of the team and seek stage wins in many of the hilly days the Giro has to offer.
The Australian is just off the back of a 14th place at Eschborn-Frankfurt, a disappointing result where he couldn't keep up with the best climbers, in a race that actually favoured him with the attacks which Jayco controlled. Matthews has won stages here back in 2014 and 2015 and will hope to bring one more to his palmarès, as well as being a contender for the points classification.
Michael Hepburn and Lukas Postleberger will be the key parts of a modest leadout, whilst Campbell Stewart and Callum Scotson are to be important riders in the hilly days where the team will likely look to put other sprinters into difficulty. Alessandro De Marchi and Italian national champion Filippo Zana will also do some work surely, but mainly focus on stage wins in those transition days.
Eddie Dunbar completes the lineup, Jayco had hinted at his leadership at the Giro for several months which means the overall classification may be on his mind, however the Irishman could also prove to be a stage hunter in the mountains.
Team Jayco AlUla for Giro d'Italia:
Alessandro De Marchi, Filippo Zana, Michael Matthews, Campbell Stewart, Eddie Dunbar, Lukas Postleberger, Callum Scotson and Michael Hepburn.

- First of all, I hope now all is ok with your baby!. Yeah, about to not accept foreign phone number is a big problem also for me. I have economic interests in 2 countries, I think that all can be ok with my Italian number... but NO! The world is globalized but not for bureaucracies.
maria2024202424-11-2024 - First of all, calm, this is a site to share point of views, doubts, intuitions about cycling. Let's think about it: if someone tells you that he is very tired but is going to run unimportant races immediately, ignoring a world championship much further away in time that would give him the opportunity to rest, there is something very contradictory. Maybe it is fair, but as a simple spectator I (and many others) do not understand it, it does not make sense.maria2024202424-11-2024
- I think the other side has said plenty, given comments about her reputation like what Renz said above. Perhaps this is her chance to speak up against that reputation? I have no idea but her comments seem pretty human, even if each person has their own version of the story.RidesHills24-11-2024
- Give her a team built around her with no competing leaders, like Pogacar has at UAE or Vingegaard has at Visma (seeing how Roglic left), and I wonder how Vollering would do. She’s already so good, and a team dedicated to her could make her even better.RidesHills24-11-2024
- Those injuries, an ability to manage pain and push himself, probably a load of TUEs to help him get back from an awful moment, and competing that hard without the long exercise base that was the norm - no wonder he was exhausted. We’ve now had two consecutive seasons of the second place rider having an injury that interrupts training, and it shows to what level their bodies are tuned for the insane task of winning the Tour. I certainly hope both (and their teams!) are healthy next year. It would be a first, after 4 years.RidesHills24-11-2024
- Winners seem to be like this. Win or lose, it is always on to the next thing. They don’t celebrate the big win, they don’t worry about the painful loss. They move on. It’s an amazing skill. But to be able to ride (and win) while not being able to walk? That’s a level of pain management that boggles my mind. Of course they have it, given what they put their bodies through, but it’s just crazy.RidesHills24-11-2024
- Poor Demi. But she behaves the same way when riding for the national team. Bring me my tiny violin.Renz24-11-2024
