Michael Matthews and Simon Yates headline as Team Jayco AlUla reveal Tour Down Under lineup
CyclingThursday, 05 January 2023 at 13:00
Team Jayco AlUlua have revealed their lineup for the Santos Tour Down Under, set to start on January 17th. The Australian team will be returning to its homeland with a strong team, including multiple Grand Tour stage winner Michael Matthews and former Vuelta a Espana winner Simon Yates.
Matthews will be attempting to add to his sole Tour Down Under stage win from back in 2011 and will be aided by New Zealander Campbell Stewart and fellow Aussies Luke Durbridge and Michael Hepburn.
Meanwhile, Simon Yates who will be aiming for general classification success will be assisted by lieutenants, Lucas Hamilton and former Jumbo-Visma rider Chris Harper who will be racing his first race in the colours of Team Jayco AlUla.
With such a strong team being selected, there are many possibilities for Jayco AlUla to have considerable success and with five of the seven riders being Australian, the Tour Down Under also marks something of a homecoming and as such gives them the boost of having the support of the thousands who will flock to the roadside to watch.
Team Jayco AlUla for Santos Tour Down Under: Luke Durbridge, Lucas Hamilton, Chris Harper, Michael Hepburn, Campbell Stewart, Michael Matthews and Simon Yates.

- 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
