Team Jayco AlUla is pleased to confirm the signing of Asbjørn Hellemose, a talented 25-year-old climber from Denmark, for the 2025 season to further strengthen its climbing group and foundations.
Hellemose’s name is already familiar within the WorldTour peloton after two years racing as a professional with Trek-Segafredo in 2022 and 2023. This year however, the Dane turned his attention to gravel racing, keeping fit and developing himself as a rider and person before deciding to turn his attention back to road racing and re-entering the WorldTour.
Bringing a wealth of experience and skills, his natural climbing talent is something that the team’s performance staff are keen to develop even further and believe there is still a lot of potential to be unleashed from the young Dane.
Asbjørn Hellemose
“This is really huge because if you go out of the WorldTour peloton it is really difficult to come back, but I kept on fighting and I’m really proud of this. Team Jayco AlUla staff looked at my numbers and were convinced. I kept on training very hard and also developed some of things that I couldn’t do in my first years as a pro.
I have always dreamed of being on GreenEDGE Cycling. I remember when I was 12 or 13 and my dad asked me ‘if you could have a crazy dream and join the WorldTour, which team would you go to?’. I said GreenEDGE because from the outside it looked like a very happy team which makes people go faster, and I could see this thanks to the Backstage Pass videos. The one with Hayman winning Paris-Roubaix – that still gives me goosebumps.
It is also nice for me to join the team with Anders Foldager. He is younger than me but we were in the same small cycling club and so we have been training together since we were little kids. We were kids with dreams but now we will be in the same team, one of the biggest teams in the WorldTour, that is very special.
For 2025, it is difficult for me to say what I expect as I haven’t raced on the road for one year now. I have been racing on gravel, but I know I have stepped up a level. I hope to get on well with the team and the staff and to get a win, a professional win, that is what gives me the motivation to train, a really big dream.”
Brent Copeland – General Manager
“Hellemose is another new signing for 2025 to really strengthen our core foundations and climbing group. The performance staff have been following him over the past year as he took to gravel racing and believe he deserves a place in the WorldTour again as a rider that looks to have a lot of potential still inside of him. We hope to bring that out of him next season and think he will be a big asset to our team roster, which is shaping up very well for the coming season.”
