Team BikeExchange, which will become Team BikeExchange Jayco next season, has confirmed a 13-rider roster for 2022, which represents the most significant roster change in the team’s history.
General Manager Brent Copeland: “The work done over this last year, working together with performance and technical team, has been very intense and I do believe that we have managed to put together the best line-up possible for the 2022 season. We have deeply analysed what has been done in the past and how we have to manage our future. Last season wasn’t the easiest for us, but with the talent and determination of our riders and staff members, we believe can step back up in the WorldTour ranking once again.”
Six riders from four different nations will be joining the team, boasting a range of talents, from raw power, to track speed and race experience. Just three longer-term riders remain in the team, including Amanda Spratt (11th season) Jess Allen (7th season) and Georgia Williams (6th season). All other riders have spent one year or less with the team. It’s hoped that older riders in the team will be able to guide new recruits in line with the team’s culture and riding style. The team will also consist of young and more experienced riders, ranging from 22 to 33 years of age.
Head Sports Director Martin Vestby: “It is almost like a new, fresh start for us in 2022. We will see quite a big change to the roster compared to previous years and this is an exciting challenge for us, and I think it will make the whole team step-up a level.”
