After being linked with a transfer away, Jai Hindley has committed his future to the Red Bull-Bora-Hansgrohe team.

The Australian former Giro d’Italia winner was tipped to join Visma-Lease a Bike, but has now signed a contract extension with his current team, it was confirmed on Tuesday.

The deal was described as “long-term” by the team, although the specific length of the contract was not disclosed.

Hindley, who recently turned 30, joined the German team in 2022, and his most recent contract extension came ahead of the 2025 season, in what was presumably a two-year deal.

“I’m super happy and grateful to extend my contract and continue my journey with Red Bull-Bora-Hansgrohe. I love working with everyone in the team and to me it feels like a second family,” Hindley said.

“I have big personal ambitions, as does the team and I believe this is the right environment to continue to grow and progress. Thanks to the whole team for the continued trust.”

Hindley, who started his WorldTour career with four years at the team now known as Picnic PostNL, made an instant impact when he joined Bora-Hansgrohe, winning the Giro d’Italia in 2022. He went on to win a stage and wear the yellow jersey as he finished seventh at the following year’s Tour de France.

That remains his last professional victory and while he endured a slight dip in fortunes in the subsequent 18 months, he placed fourth overall at last year’s Vuelta a España and returned to a Grand Tour podium with third at this year’s Giro d’Italia in May.

Hindley, who is currently racing the Tour de France in support of Remco Evenepoel and Florian Lipowitz, is increasingly seen by the team as a reference point for the team’s batch of younger Grand Tour hopefuls, which includes his Giro co-leader Giulio Pellizzari, and his fellow countryman Luke Tuckwell.

“Jai has been one of the world’s best Grand Tour riders for many years. What makes him so valuable to us goes beyond his results – he sets an important example for the whole team, particularly the next generation of Grand Tour riders,” said the team’s Chief of Sports, Zak Dempster.

“The fact that he has committed his future to our team is a strong statement.”
