Liv AlUla Jayco is pleased to confirm its final line-up for the 2025 season, which aims to build on the strong foundations set in 2024. After a year of big change and growth, the Australian squad has solidified its roster with some important additions that will help the team in targeting both one-day events and stage races.
Climbing power
The three Grand Tours will be a big focus for the squad in 2025 with experienced racer Mavi García heading up the team’s crop of climbers. She will have some very promising young talent beside her in Silke Smulders and Ella Wyllie, who both showed their class and developing talents with wins in their debut season with Liv AlUla Jayco. Monica Trinca Colonel will bring some Italian flare in the climbing group for next season after joining the squad for 2025 following an impressive breakthrough campaign in 2024.
Head Sport Director and Liv AlUla Jayco Team Manager Gene Bates stated:
“With our climbing group we’ll really be targeting the three main Grand Tours, the Vuelta Femenina, Giro d’Italia and the Tour de France Femmes. We’ve got some great opportunities there and there were some real standout performances in 2024 from the likes of Silke. We know the class of Mavi, and I know she’s very motivated for the 2025 season. It will be great to see Ella back to her best again and the signing of Monica Trinca Colonel is something we’re all really excited about. Even though she has a lack of background in the sport, the results she’s been able to achieve is something we’re looking forward to leveraging during the season.”
Classics strength
Sprint finishes and the one-day Classics remain another major aim for the team after some big progression in that area over the last year. Letizia Paternoster mixed it with the best throughout the spring Classics in 2024 before taking her first win in team colours later in the season. Despite an injury that disrupted the opening months of the year in Europe, Australian champion Ruby Roseman-Gannon hit her stride in the summer with her first WorldTour win at the Tour of Britain plus a gold medal (mixed TTT) and sixth place in the road world championships.
Meanwhile, Georgia Baker showed off her development as a sprinter with some impressive performances, including close podium finishes on stages of the Vuelta Femenina and Tour of Britain despite balancing a busy track and road programme. All three will be aiming to build on those performances and take another big step up in 2025.
“We have a lot of strength across the board. There were some big and inspiring performances in 2024 in our Classics groups and I’m excited to see where that can go in 2025. Letizia’s results last year were very promising, as is the ability that Ruby is showing, and I think the world championships highlighted that. Then there’s Georgia, who will have her full focus on the road, and she’s going to be exciting in some of those flatter classics.” – Bates continued.
Safe hands
Completing the team is a strong core of support riders that are adaptable to all kinds of terrains. Dutch rider Jeanne Korevaar has shown herself to be a hugely reliable road captain, while Swede Caroline Andersson is a key addition to the climbing group. Australian Amber Pate, Dutchwoman Quinty Ton and Italian Anna Trevisi add all-round strength to the team, particularly on the flat and rolling roads. Rounding out the roster are two new additions in Australian Josie Talbot and Dutch rider Amber van der Hulst.
“We’ve got a great department of leaders and some very quality support riders, so we are in a safe set of hands when we go into these bigger races. I’m excited, I think everyone else is too and hopefully we can come up with some great results that will do the talent we have in the team justice.” – Bates
