Simon Yates and Dylan Groenewegen headline Team Jayco AlUla ambitions at Tour de France
CyclingFriday, 23 June 2023 at 10:44
Simon Yates has set his sights at the Tour de France and he's headlining Team Jayco AlUla's lineup alongside Dylan Groenewegen. It is a team suited to take stage wins although it could also see the Briton fight for the overall classification.
Yates rode to second at the Tour Down Under and fourth at Paris-Nice earlier in the year, he has not raced since the Tour de Romandie and will take an approach to the Tour similar to that of Primoz Roglic to the Giro d'Italia. However the Australian team is not built around him, only Chris Harper will be present to support him in the mountains.
“I am really looking forward to taking this team on the road at the TDF. Our two leaders, Simon Yates and Dylan Groenewegen, have both been very successful at the TDF in the past," DS Matthew Hayman stated in the press release. "To support them we have Chris Harper, who is new to the team this year and is lining up for his debut TDF, and will be there for Simon in the mountains. Dylan’s trusted lead-out man in Luka Mezgec and fellow Dutch rider Elmar Reinders."
The main focus will be the sprints where Dylan Groenewegen wil get his leadout present. Luka Mezgec, Elmard Reinders, Luke Durbridge and Christopher Juul-Jensen will have a crucial role on the flat days, whilst Lawson Craddock should both help with the leadouts and also chase stage wins in hilly days.

- The second rider's account added a bit of context where there had been little, so people would want to read it. There's nothing to suggest that Jonas thought the two riders were together; it was a busy road.Hills3329-01-2026
- That may be so but he probably can’t say tgst as it could be considered breach of contract if he was signed up for team/JV duties, in which case we might never know because he won’t want to take the risk of having to pay like WVA. I don’t think anyone knows what was promised but he accepted a pay reduction and could easily have continued at Jayco. To be honest, I don’t think ANYBODY was still counting on him winning a GT at that time, hence why he’d never got any interesting offers before. And then it happenedMistermaumau29-01-2026
- If that’s your starting pount then in the article situation It’s not a matter of equality whatsoever because that person wouldn’t tag along with everyone (let alone film it) you he is targeting a specific person to follow which in fact means HE is guilty of creating inequality by considering that person is worth following more than some other random person. This is getting like the free speech absolutist trying to shut up people who reply against them.Mistermaumau29-01-2026
- There are a lot of desperate nobodies out there who can’t keep the satisfaction of an encounter in their private circle but hope to be in the spotlight for 15s by association. I guess you’re thinking of this Artem guy but at least he’s kind of known by riders and probably asks? This is only the beginning though, soon there will be tour guides taking groups along the training routes in the hope of encountering someone, a mix of the Hollywood home tours and safaris. I don’t understand the obsession when you can basically meet plenty of ex-pros, even Tour winners etc. in person once they open their retirement shops or organise training rides for enthusiasts.Mistermaumau29-01-2026
- Actually, it’s more a case of obstruction of the rider behind by messing with his Oxygen mix ;-) (and many are more Sulpho than Nitro by the smell of things)Mistermaumau29-01-2026
- Your logic holds at best during a race and even then, public is supposed to leave riders space and alone, hence authorities who move crowds for riders even at the busiest of climbs. You seem to have an almost perverse sense of intimacy celebrities should allow the public in the name of ENTERTAINMENT. If even training is now part of that entertainment then you know what, make the whole business pay-based. And even then, ask the price for tagging on. before doing so.Mistermaumau29-01-2026
- is this the top tier cyclist caught doping we were promised ?
ChillingCyclist29-01-2026 - Farting while you're on a sprint is mechanical doping. It gives you temporary nitro boost. It's fair to report that.
KerisVroom29-01-2026 - It's a good one, maybe we'll find out 1 day why...
leedorney29-01-2026 - Simply put, the blogger posts to show how he was keeping up with a pro rider (otherwise, he wouldn't keep looking down at his computer and record the numbers). Nothing more to this than vanity and whoring for attention, and when an accident happens, the better for the blogger to get more attention through clicks, and as a result more people commenting (like me) and can subscribe (not me) to the so-called wanna-be instagram 'blogger'. How the world has changed for attention.b3tlla29-01-2026
