Victories 2024: 25

The Australian racing team can look back on a thoroughly successful season. In this statistic, 25 victories mean ninth place among the World Tour teams and eight more successes than in 2023. The team celebrated at World Tour level four times. Dylan Groenewegen won the 6th stage of the Tour de France, Eddie Dunbar the 11th and 20th stages of the Vuelta a Espana and Michael Matthews the Grand Prix Quebec in Canada.

Driver with the most victories: 5

Dylan Groenewegen has the edge within the team - even when it comes to comparing sprinters. This is because his Australian team-mate Caleb Ewan only achieved three successes in 2024. In addition to the Tour stage, Dutchman Groenewegen won the Classica Comunitat Valenciana, the Ronde van Limburg, stage 1 of the Tour of Slovenia and the road race of the Dutch Championships, which earned him a special jersey for one year.

Most race days: 79

Alessandro De Marchi leads this statistic for Team Jayco-AlUla, just ahead of Elmar Reinders (78), Luka Mezgec (77), Filippo Zana (76) and Felix Engelhardt (75). The kilometres covered in the race are correspondingly close. Zana leads with 12514 kilometres ahead of his compatriot De Marchi (12420).

The personnel shake-up at Team Jayco-AlUla is extremely exciting. With Vuelta runner-up Ben O'Connor, a top cyclist is joining the team, while Simon Yates is leaving. In addition, the Australians are bringing Jasha Sütterlin into the team as a third German pro alongside Felix Engelhardt and Max Walscheid. As a cycling fan, it is also worth taking a look at the personnel Alan Hatherly to keep an eye on. The mountain bike world champion is trying his luck in road cycling, but will also continue to be active off-road.
