The Jayco-Alula team held their team presentation in Adelaide on the eve of the Tour Down Under, highlighting their Australian roots and DNA and indicating their intentions to kick-off 2023 and the new three-year WorldTour cycling with early success and a haul of UCI ranking points in their home race. 

Jayco-Alula were one of half a dozen teams caught up in the battle to avoid relegation from the WorldTour in 2022 and they do not want to be in a similar position going forward. Team owner Gerry Ryan has promised to fund the team for a further three years, with his Jayco camper van brand replacing his BikeExchange company as title sponsor for the team’s 12th season at the highest level.
