"Whether it be for the stage or GC, they committed to each other and the team plan" - Team Jayco AlUla proud of Giro d'Italia performance

With two stage wins and a placing in the top 10 of the general classification, Team Jayco AlUla were one of the standout teams at the 2023 Giro d'Italia and Sports Director, David McPartland couldn't be prouder.

“The Giro has once again proven to be a special race for this team. We have taken home two stunning stage wins, a 7th overall on GC and several top 10’s across the three weeks. And they have all come from different riders, which shows the depth and versatility of the team," he tells the team's official website. "Perhaps the most impressive aspect is not even the results themselves, but rather the actual way in which the guys achieved them. Each day chasing objectives and whether it be for the stage or GC, they committed to each other and the team plan day in and day out."

"We can be proud of the team and our performance at this year’s Giro, and we are already looking forward to returning next year for even more," he concludes. With both Michael Matthews and Filippo Zana taking the stage wins with Eddie Dunbar achieving a 7th placed finish overall, the riders themselves were understandably delighted by the race.

“I am very happy with my Giro and with my seventh place in the GC overall. My season didn’t start in the best way with my hand injury in Valenciana back in February, and that forced me to rethink my approach going into the Giro. My goal was always to get into the top-10 and learn as much as possible," says Dunbar. "I achieved both, so this makes me optimistic about the future.”
