joining the Liv-AlUla-Jayco women\u2019s set up and Australian track star Oliver Bleddyn arriving at the men\u2019s Jayco-AlUla squad.<\/p>\n<p>Both riders have signed with the Australian WorldTour teams on two-year contracts, taking them to the end of 2028.<\/p>\n<p id=\"elk-c2ab92b6-c30f-11f1-bf9c-7b543d6810f3-2\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">While Bleddyn is best known as a track rider, where his successes include a gold medal in the Team Pursuit at the Paris Olympic Games, the 24-year-old has plenty of experience on the road. This year, he was second in the time trial at both the Australian and Oceania championships and joined the team as a stagiaire with Jayco-AlUla at the start of August. Since then he completed the Arctic Race of Norway, but has struggled since, finishing only one of seven late-season Italian Classics.<\/p>\n<div class=\"my-6 w-full overflow-hidden rounded-[10px] lg:my-8\" data-component-name=\"JwPlayer:Carousel\" data-jwp-carousel data-jwp-carousel-payload=\"{&quot;ids&quot;:{&quot;playerID&quot;:&quot;jYDCcabO&quot;,&quot;searchPlaylistID&quot;:&quot;gwjdoYHD&quot;,&quot;divID&quot;:&quot;botr_gwjdoYHD_jYDCcabO_div&quot;,&quot;fallbackPlaylistID&quot;:&quot;gwjdoYHD&quot;,&quot;fallbackDivID&quot;:&quot;botr_gwjdoYHD_jYDCcabO_div&quot;,&quot;key&quot;:&quot;X9\/mXVGac0NphghLH9hZaqWA5d3dhAM\/Ih07grnEyMLjuO2E&quot;,&quot;tintLogo&quot;:true,&quot;useSearchPlaylist&quot;:false,&quot;enabled&quot;:true},&quot;signPostingEnabled&quot;:true,&quot;signPostingLinkEnabled&quot;:true,&quot;waitForAdLoad&quot;:false,&quot;hidePlayerOnDesktop&quot;:false,&quot;hidePlayerOnMobile&quot;:false,&quot;hidePlayerOnTablet&quot;:false}\">\n<div class=\"flex flex-nowrap items-center justify-between gap-3 bg-zinc-900 px-[14px] py-3\" data-jwp-carousel-header>\n<div class=\"flex min-w-0 shrink items-center\"><span class=\"inline-flex items-center gap-1.5 text-sm font-article-heading capitalize leading-5 text-white whitespace-nowrap\"><span class=\"jwp-carousel-title-desktop\">Latest Videos From<\/span><span class=\"jwp-carousel-brand\">Cyclingnews<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"min-h-[44px] bg-zinc-900 px-[14px] py-3\" data-jwp-carousel-signposting><a class=\"invisible block truncate text-sm font-bold leading-5 text-white underline decoration-solid underline-offset-2\" data-jwp-carousel-signposting-link href target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span data-jwp-carousel-signposting-title>Watch full video here: <\/span><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">&#8220;I\u2019m really excited about what next year can bring.

Working mostly as a domestique, Harvey is able to take her leaders deep into hilly finals, and has the engine to bring breakaways back on flat days.<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">Though she began this year with second place in both the time trial and road race at the New Zealand nationals, she didn\u2019t start her European season until the Ardennes Classics in April. A crash took her out of the Giro d\u2019Italia Women in June, since then she\u2019s struggled to regain consistency, crashing out of the Classic Lorient Agglom\u00e9ration and the Faun Tour Femmes, where she suffered a concussion.<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">&#8220;I am already looking forward to next season,&#8221; Harvey said. &#8220;I am a rider that has experienced a lot, and I feel like I can add this to the team. Alongside this, I am a rider that is not afraid of trying something and being outside my comfort zone. I love attacking and dynamic racing. Especially looking for breakaways and escaping from the peloton.&#8221;<\/p>\n<aside data-component-name=\"Recirculation:ArticleRiver\" data-recirculation-type=\"inline\" data-mrf-recirculation=\"Trending Bar\" data-nosnippet class=\"clear-both pt-2 pb-0 mb-4\"><span class=\"\n            flex\n            after:content-[&apos;&apos;] after:flex-1 after:ml-4 after:my-[0.7rem] after:border-t after:border-solid after:border-t-[#ccc]\n            before:content-[&apos;&apos;] before:flex-1 before:mr-4 before:my-[0.7rem] before:border-t before:border-solid before:border-t-[#ccc]\n            font-article-heading pb-0 text-[length:var(--article-river-title--font-size,1em)] uppercase sm:text-[length:var(--article-river-title--font-size,0.875em)] font-bold\n        \"><br \/>\n            What to read next<br \/>\n        <\/span><\/p>\n<ul class=\"flex flex-col gap-0 m-0 max-w-full\">\n<li class=\"m-0 list-none border-b border-solid border-[#ededed] py-2\" data-recirculation-id=\"recirculation-card-1\" id=\"recirculation-inline-2-1\" data-analytics-id=\"recirculation-2-inline-1\" data-mrf-recirculation=\"recirculation-2-inline-1\">\n    <source type=\"image\/webp\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/a84w6UvVdB2uv4guW6QSrD-250-80.jpg.webp 250w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/a84w6UvVdB2uv4guW6QSrD-150-80.jpg.webp 150w\" sizes=\"150px\" \/><span class=\"w-full text-base font-[var(--article-river-item--font-weight,500)] font-article-heading line-clamp-3 md:line-clamp-2\">Cycling transfers \u2013 All the latest news and announcements for the 2026 season<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"m-0 list-none border-b border-solid border-[#ededed] py-2\" data-recirculation-id=\"recirculation-card-2\" id=\"recirculation-inline-2-2\" data-analytics-id=\"recirculation-2-inline-2\" data-mrf-recirculation=\"recirculation-2-inline-2\">\n    <source type=\"image\/webp\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/L4v54iQfgiP9waRhbbLQBf-250-80.jpg.webp 250w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/L4v54iQfgiP9waRhbbLQBf-150-80.jpg.webp 150w\" sizes=\"150px\" \/><span class=\"w-full text-base font-[var(--article-river-item--font-weight,500)] font-article-heading line-clamp-3 md:line-clamp-2\">Next-Gen Radar: Tour de l&#8217;Avenir, junior talents, and all the under-23 action from August<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"m-0 list-none border-b border-solid border-[#ccc] py-2\" data-recirculation-id=\"recirculation-card-3\" id=\"recirculation-inline-2-3\" data-analytics-id=\"recirculation-2-inline-3\" data-mrf-recirculation=\"recirculation-2-inline-3\">\n    <source type=\"image\/webp\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/e3Y4fhQqoGUyffiZtnpbBa-250-80.jpg.webp 250w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/e3Y4fhQqoGUyffiZtnpbBa-150-80.jpg.webp 150w\" sizes=\"150px\" \/><span class=\"w-full text-base font-[var(--article-river-item--font-weight,500)] font-article-heading line-clamp-3 md:line-clamp-2\">Matthews, Gigante, Hindley headline experienced Australian squads for Montreal Road World Championships<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/aside>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">The team expect her to play a big role in hilly races, including the chance to race for herself.<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">&#8220;Over the past few seasons, she has played an important support role, but with us she will also have the chance to race for her own ambitions again,&#8221; said Head Sport Director Wim Stroetinga. &#8220;We strongly believe she has the talent and ability to be competing at the front of races and fighting for victories, and we are excited to help her take that next step.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">Neither men\u2019s nor women\u2019s programmes have been especially active in this summer\u2019s transfer market, Bleddyn joining Will Holmes as the only two signings to the men\u2019s squad so far.

joining the Liv-AlUla-Jayco women\u2019s set up and Australian track star Oliver Bleddyn arriving at the men\u2019s Jayco-AlUla squad.<\/p>\n<p>Both riders have signed with the Australian WorldTour teams on two-year contracts, taking them to the end of 2028.<\/p>\n<p id=\"elk-c2ab92b6-c30f-11f1-bf9c-7b543d6810f3-2\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">While Bleddyn is best known as a track rider, where his successes include a gold medal in the Team Pursuit at the Paris Olympic Games, the 24-year-old has plenty of experience on the road. This year, he was second in the time trial at both the Australian and Oceania championships and joined the team as a stagiaire with Jayco-AlUla at the start of August. Since then he completed the Arctic Race of Norway, but has struggled since, finishing only one of seven late-season Italian Classics.<\/p>\n<div class=\"my-6 w-full overflow-hidden rounded-[10px] lg:my-8\" data-component-name=\"JwPlayer:Carousel\" data-jwp-carousel data-jwp-carousel-payload=\"{&quot;ids&quot;:{&quot;playerID&quot;:&quot;jYDCcabO&quot;,&quot;searchPlaylistID&quot;:&quot;gwjdoYHD&quot;,&quot;divID&quot;:&quot;botr_gwjdoYHD_jYDCcabO_div&quot;,&quot;fallbackPlaylistID&quot;:&quot;gwjdoYHD&quot;,&quot;fallbackDivID&quot;:&quot;botr_gwjdoYHD_jYDCcabO_div&quot;,&quot;key&quot;:&quot;X9\/mXVGac0NphghLH9hZaqWA5d3dhAM\/Ih07grnEyMLjuO2E&quot;,&quot;tintLogo&quot;:true,&quot;useSearchPlaylist&quot;:false,&quot;enabled&quot;:true},&quot;signPostingEnabled&quot;:true,&quot;signPostingLinkEnabled&quot;:true,&quot;waitForAdLoad&quot;:false,&quot;hidePlayerOnDesktop&quot;:false,&quot;hidePlayerOnMobile&quot;:false,&quot;hidePlayerOnTablet&quot;:false}\">\n<div class=\"flex flex-nowrap items-center justify-between gap-3 bg-zinc-900 px-[14px] py-3\" data-jwp-carousel-header>\n<div class=\"flex min-w-0 shrink items-center\"><span class=\"inline-flex items-center gap-1.5 text-sm font-article-heading capitalize leading-5 text-white whitespace-nowrap\"><span class=\"jwp-carousel-title-desktop\">Latest Videos From<\/span><span class=\"jwp-carousel-brand\">Cyclingnews<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"min-h-[44px] bg-zinc-900 px-[14px] py-3\" data-jwp-carousel-signposting><a class=\"invisible block truncate text-sm font-bold leading-5 text-white underline decoration-solid underline-offset-2\" data-jwp-carousel-signposting-link href target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span data-jwp-carousel-signposting-title>Watch full video here: <\/span><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">&#8220;I\u2019m really excited about what next year can bring.

Working mostly as a domestique, Harvey is able to take her leaders deep into hilly finals, and has the engine to bring breakaways back on flat days.<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">Though she began this year with second place in both the time trial and road race at the New Zealand nationals, she didn\u2019t start her European season until the Ardennes Classics in April. A crash took her out of the Giro d\u2019Italia Women in June, since then she\u2019s struggled to regain consistency, crashing out of the Classic Lorient Agglom\u00e9ration and the Faun Tour Femmes, where she suffered a concussion.<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">&#8220;I am already looking forward to next season,&#8221; Harvey said. &#8220;I am a rider that has experienced a lot, and I feel like I can add this to the team. Alongside this, I am a rider that is not afraid of trying something and being outside my comfort zone. I love attacking and dynamic racing. Especially looking for breakaways and escaping from the peloton.&#8221;<\/p>\n<aside data-component-name=\"Recirculation:ArticleRiver\" data-recirculation-type=\"inline\" data-mrf-recirculation=\"Trending Bar\" data-nosnippet class=\"clear-both pt-2 pb-0 mb-4\"><span class=\"\n            flex\n            after:content-[&apos;&apos;] after:flex-1 after:ml-4 after:my-[0.7rem] after:border-t after:border-solid after:border-t-[#ccc]\n            before:content-[&apos;&apos;] before:flex-1 before:mr-4 before:my-[0.7rem] before:border-t before:border-solid before:border-t-[#ccc]\n            font-article-heading pb-0 text-[length:var(--article-river-title--font-size,1em)] uppercase sm:text-[length:var(--article-river-title--font-size,0.875em)] font-bold\n        \"><br \/>\n            What to read next<br \/>\n        <\/span><\/p>\n<ul class=\"flex flex-col gap-0 m-0 max-w-full\">\n<li class=\"m-0 list-none border-b border-solid border-[#ededed] py-2\" data-recirculation-id=\"recirculation-card-1\" id=\"recirculation-inline-2-1\" data-analytics-id=\"recirculation-2-inline-1\" data-mrf-recirculation=\"recirculation-2-inline-1\">\n    <source type=\"image\/webp\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/a84w6UvVdB2uv4guW6QSrD-250-80.jpg.webp 250w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/a84w6UvVdB2uv4guW6QSrD-150-80.jpg.webp 150w\" sizes=\"150px\" \/><span class=\"w-full text-base font-[var(--article-river-item--font-weight,500)] font-article-heading line-clamp-3 md:line-clamp-2\">Cycling transfers \u2013 All the latest news and announcements for the 2026 season<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"m-0 list-none border-b border-solid border-[#ededed] py-2\" data-recirculation-id=\"recirculation-card-2\" id=\"recirculation-inline-2-2\" data-analytics-id=\"recirculation-2-inline-2\" data-mrf-recirculation=\"recirculation-2-inline-2\">\n    <source type=\"image\/webp\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/L4v54iQfgiP9waRhbbLQBf-250-80.jpg.webp 250w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/L4v54iQfgiP9waRhbbLQBf-150-80.jpg.webp 150w\" sizes=\"150px\" \/><span class=\"w-full text-base font-[var(--article-river-item--font-weight,500)] font-article-heading line-clamp-3 md:line-clamp-2\">Next-Gen Radar: Tour de l&#8217;Avenir, junior talents, and all the under-23 action from August<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"m-0 list-none border-b border-solid border-[#ccc] py-2\" data-recirculation-id=\"recirculation-card-3\" id=\"recirculation-inline-2-3\" data-analytics-id=\"recirculation-2-inline-3\" data-mrf-recirculation=\"recirculation-2-inline-3\">\n    <source type=\"image\/webp\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/e3Y4fhQqoGUyffiZtnpbBa-250-80.jpg.webp 250w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/e3Y4fhQqoGUyffiZtnpbBa-150-80.jpg.webp 150w\" sizes=\"150px\" \/><span class=\"w-full text-base font-[var(--article-river-item--font-weight,500)] font-article-heading line-clamp-3 md:line-clamp-2\">Matthews, Gigante, Hindley headline experienced Australian squads for Montreal Road World Championships<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/aside>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">The team expect her to play a big role in hilly races, including the chance to race for herself.<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">&#8220;Over the past few seasons, she has played an important support role, but with us she will also have the chance to race for her own ambitions again,&#8221; said Head Sport Director Wim Stroetinga. &#8220;We strongly believe she has the talent and ability to be competing at the front of races and fighting for victories, and we are excited to help her take that next step.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">Neither men\u2019s nor women\u2019s programmes have been especially active in this summer\u2019s transfer market, Bleddyn joining Will Holmes as the only two signings to the men\u2019s squad so far.

This year, he was second in the time trial at both the Australian and Oceania championships and joined the team as a stagiaire with Jayco-AlUla at the start of August.

Working mostly as a domestique, Harvey is able to take her leaders deep into hilly finals, and has the engine to bring breakaways back on flat days.<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">Though she began this year with second place in both the time trial and road race at the New Zealand nationals, she didn\u2019t start her European season until the Ardennes Classics in April. A crash took her out of the Giro d\u2019Italia Women in June, since then she\u2019s struggled to regain consistency, crashing out of the Classic Lorient Agglom\u00e9ration and the Faun Tour Femmes, where she suffered a concussion.<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">&#8220;I am already looking forward to next season,&#8221; Harvey said. &#8220;I am a rider that has experienced a lot, and I feel like I can add this to the team. Alongside this, I am a rider that is not afraid of trying something and being outside my comfort zone. I love attacking and dynamic racing. Especially looking for breakaways and escaping from the peloton.&#8221;<\/p>\n<aside data-component-name=\"Recirculation:ArticleRiver\" data-recirculation-type=\"inline\" data-mrf-recirculation=\"Trending Bar\" data-nosnippet class=\"clear-both pt-2 pb-0 mb-4\"><span class=\"\n            flex\n            after:content-[&apos;&apos;] after:flex-1 after:ml-4 after:my-[0.7rem] after:border-t after:border-solid after:border-t-[#ccc]\n            before:content-[&apos;&apos;] before:flex-1 before:mr-4 before:my-[0.7rem] before:border-t before:border-solid before:border-t-[#ccc]\n            font-article-heading pb-0 text-[length:var(--article-river-title--font-size,1em)] uppercase sm:text-[length:var(--article-river-title--font-size,0.875em)] font-bold\n        \"><br \/>\n            What to read next<br \/>\n        <\/span><\/p>\n<ul class=\"flex flex-col gap-0 m-0 max-w-full\">\n<li class=\"m-0 list-none border-b border-solid border-[#ededed] py-2\" data-recirculation-id=\"recirculation-card-1\" id=\"recirculation-inline-2-1\" data-analytics-id=\"recirculation-2-inline-1\" data-mrf-recirculation=\"recirculation-2-inline-1\">\n    <source type=\"image\/webp\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/a84w6UvVdB2uv4guW6QSrD-250-80.jpg.webp 250w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/a84w6UvVdB2uv4guW6QSrD-150-80.jpg.webp 150w\" sizes=\"150px\" \/><span class=\"w-full text-base font-[var(--article-river-item--font-weight,500)] font-article-heading line-clamp-3 md:line-clamp-2\">Cycling transfers \u2013 All the latest news and announcements for the 2026 season<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"m-0 list-none border-b border-solid border-[#ededed] py-2\" data-recirculation-id=\"recirculation-card-2\" id=\"recirculation-inline-2-2\" data-analytics-id=\"recirculation-2-inline-2\" data-mrf-recirculation=\"recirculation-2-inline-2\">\n    <source type=\"image\/webp\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/L4v54iQfgiP9waRhbbLQBf-250-80.jpg.webp 250w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/L4v54iQfgiP9waRhbbLQBf-150-80.jpg.webp 150w\" sizes=\"150px\" \/><span class=\"w-full text-base font-[var(--article-river-item--font-weight,500)] font-article-heading line-clamp-3 md:line-clamp-2\">Next-Gen Radar: Tour de l&#8217;Avenir, junior talents, and all the under-23 action from August<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"m-0 list-none border-b border-solid border-[#ccc] py-2\" data-recirculation-id=\"recirculation-card-3\" id=\"recirculation-inline-2-3\" data-analytics-id=\"recirculation-2-inline-3\" data-mrf-recirculation=\"recirculation-2-inline-3\">\n    <source type=\"image\/webp\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/e3Y4fhQqoGUyffiZtnpbBa-250-80.jpg.webp 250w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/e3Y4fhQqoGUyffiZtnpbBa-150-80.jpg.webp 150w\" sizes=\"150px\" \/><span class=\"w-full text-base font-[var(--article-river-item--font-weight,500)] font-article-heading line-clamp-3 md:line-clamp-2\">Matthews, Gigante, Hindley headline experienced Australian squads for Montreal Road World Championships<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/aside>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">The team expect her to play a big role in hilly races, including the chance to race for herself.<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">&#8220;Over the past few seasons, she has played an important support role, but with us she will also have the chance to race for her own ambitions again,&#8221; said Head Sport Director Wim Stroetinga. &#8220;We strongly believe she has the talent and ability to be competing at the front of races and fighting for victories, and we are excited to help her take that next step.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">Neither men\u2019s nor women\u2019s programmes have been especially active in this summer\u2019s transfer market, Bleddyn joining Will Holmes as the only two signings to the men\u2019s squad so far.
