Team Jayco AlUla has revealed their lineup for the upcoming edition of Paris-Nice, with Australian National Champion, Luke Plapp set to be given his chance at mounting a general classification challenge.
“It’s been a great little block, starting in Australia and then having a good few weeks up on the volcano in Tenerife. I’m really excited to race my first Paris-Nice and ride with a few new boys on the team. It will be my first time riding with Dylan Groenewegen and his leadout crew and I’m also really looking forward to mixing it with Chris Harper on the climbs. I think we have a super strong team for this week," previews Plapp in conversation Team Jayco AlUla's official website.
With Plapp and Groenewegen combining, the team holds ambitions on multiple fronts. "The plan for the race will be to try and win some sprints with Dylan and be up there as high as possible on the GC with both myself and Chris," Plapp explains. "It’ll be my first stage race of the year, I didn’t get to finish the Tour Down Under due to a crash, so I’m really looking forward to getting through it and seeing how the work has been going up on the volcano and what kind of shape I’m in.”
Team Jayco AlUla for 2024 Paris-Nice:
Luke Plapp, Dylan Groenewegen, Chris Harper, Michael Matthews, Luke Durbridge, Elmar Reinders and Luka Mezgec.

- Might be bit isn't. The reason is actually that no one wants to work for free. But that's my point. Incur the costs for a year, make clear that ads are coming and see if it works. No one else has tried this in cycling.Renz15-11-2024
- Plus MVDP now having basically done 4 seasons in 2 years might warrant a slightly longer rest than usual, although even then his will STILL be shorter than 98% of all other pro cyclists in any field.Mistermaumau15-11-2024

- The reason you don’t see these type of websites often and certainly not in cycling might be that they die before you find them. But tell us about it when you’re done I’ll visit to check it out.Mistermaumau15-11-2024
- Someone should do this: create a cycling news site that is free with no ads. Watch the subscriptions like up. Then carefully and slowly introduce ads. I might do it myself. Sites like CUTD are poorly conceived and consequently a mess. Readers will leave as soon as there is a better alternative.Renz15-11-2024
