"The Giro d'Italia is the plan" - Eddie Dunbar dreams big towards debut season at Team BikeExchange - Jayco
CyclingSunday, 11 December 2022 at 00:00
Eddie Dunbar left INEOS Grenadiers and moved to Team BikeExchange-Jayco to get more opportunities. The team has already found a new role for the Irish rider.
In team manager, Matt White's opinion, Dunbar has a lot of potential. As of now, Dunbar has only been part of one grand tour, the 2019 Giro d'Italia where he finished 22nd in the GC. It looks like he will get another chance to shine next season thanks to his team. In an interview with Irish Times, White discussed the future of Dunbar. "He hasn't been able to show his worth yet.”
He continues, "At the moment, the Giro d'Italia is the plan. There he will be our man for the GC. He has only ridden one grand tour in his career. Obviously, he has missed opportunities in that area.”
Dunbar’s victory in Settimana Internazionale Coppi e Bartali and Tour of Hungary played a huge role in White’s decision."This year he was given a number of opportunities in stage races, and he took them with both hands. He won two," concluded White.

- Some silly stuff here, how do WVA & Remco train in Belgium then? Sure he gets a game of golf in there once in a while, keeps the Lambo and the gf serviced and has screen time. He’s no monk and not the only one taking training ultra serious, just more talented.Jumpyjohn01-02-2026

- Simon Yates had 58 Race Days in 2025. Maybe he just wanted to retire at the top of his powers. Not everyone NEEDS to race like Pogacar, MVDP, WVA, and Remco; as it seems to define their lives. Maybe we just take them at their word; rather than calling it abuse.Cbastnagel31-01-2026

➡️ Eddie Dunbar (25) to BikeExchange for 3 years. Dunbar leaving INEOS was a must for his personal progress, as he received very limited opportunities to grow. His next steps should be winning a WT stage, attempting GC at a 1-week WT race & domestique at a GT. 🎯 1/2
