Team BikeExchange-Jayco add climbing talent with the signing of Eddie Dunbar through to 2025

Team BikeExchange-Jayco is delighted to announce the signing of talented Irish climber Eddie Dunbar on a three-year deal. The 25-year-old has enjoyed a breakout season in 2022, with overall victories in Coppi e Bartali and the Tour de Hongrie and with this, GreenEDGE Cycling is thrilled to secure the signature of the highly rated Irishman through to 2025.
 
Despite his young age, Dunbar has more than four years of experience at WorldTour level, and the Australian outfit believe the best is yet to come from the man from Banteer, a raw and gifted climber, who brings a fresh and attacking approach to racing. 
 
With team leader Simon Yates re-signing for two more seasons, Team BikeExchange-Jayco is keen to continue building a strong and experienced group for targeting general classification success, with Dunbar set to be a key component of the team’s future.
 
Brent Copeland – General Manager
“It is really exciting for us to be bringing on such a talented, young but experienced rider on to the team and this year, Eddie has had a really strong season. We have watched him step up a level and we believe he will fit into our team very well and play a huge role in strengthening our squad in stage races. 
 
Eddie looks like a real racer, and this is something special that we wanted to bring to the team. He really gets stuck in to racing and we are looking forward to seeing what results he can achieve with us over the next three seasons as we assist with his development.”

“I am very excited about spending the next three years with Team BikeExchange-Jayco. I am really looking forward to getting some more opportunities to compete in some bigger races and to continue to develop as a rider. 

I have high hopes to add to an already great and successful team, as shown with their performances this year, with stage wins in both the Giro d’Italia and the Tour de France. I can’t wait to see what’s in store for me.”
