Simon Yates concluded his tenure with the team with a strong
season, including a stage win at the AlUla Tour, before his upcoming move to
Team Visma | Lease a Bike in 2025. Eddie Dunbar made headlines with his first
Grand Tour stage victory on Stage 11 of La Vuelta, later clinching the queen
stage as well. Meanwhile, Michael Matthews had a dramatic season, briefly
standing on the Tour of Flanders podium before being relegated, but he did
secure a second-place finish at Milan-Sanremo.

The team reflected on their season in a press release.

Matt White, Director of High Performance and Racing

“Summarising a season is always hard because it’s such a
long journey over 10 months of racing. But one thing we can be very proud of
this year is our young riders, we’ve had a lot of new guys step up this year
and 12 different winners out of the 30 riders. 25 wins is the most victories
we’ve had in five years, and they were spread out and varied over the season.

It’s hard to pick out a standout result, but probably
because it’s still fresh in my memory, the double victories of Eddie Dunbar at
the Vuelta have to be noted, definitely. Dylan Groenewegen’s win at the Tour de
France as the national champion of the Netherlands was a highlight, it’s always
special winning at the Tour. Also, Simon Yates’s crucial win on the final stage
to take the overall victory in AlUla is one we won’t forget, that’s for sure.

It’s been exciting to see a lot of the young guys get their
first wins as professionals too. That’s a great sign moving forward for the
next couple of seasons, to have these young guys that are hungry and have
already proven that they can win races, and they’ll only be hungrier for more
in the coming seasons.”

Brent Copeland, General Manager

“It has been a successful season for the men’s team with 12
different riders taking 25 victories along with numerous podium placings, it
really shows the great diversity and talent we have.

We’re proud to see that all six of our new signings for 2024
were able to take wins, this is really rewarding and for young, upcoming riders
Anders Foldager and Davide De Pretto to both get their first professional
victories is very special. It bodes well for the future as they continue to
grow, and the development of fresh talent is an important aspect of our
organisation.

Of course, winning at the highest level is always the main
goal, and Dylan and Eddie’s wins at the Tour de France and La Vuelta are huge
highlights for us this year. We also came very close in two Monuments with
Michael Matthews.”
