GreenEDGE Cycling is pleased to welcome Briton Steve Cummings as a sport director for Team Jayco AlUla men’s WorldTeam in 2025.
After a remarkable professional racing career that spanned over 15 years and boasts an impressive palmarés ranging from an Olympic silver medal to Tour de France and Vuelta a España stage wins, the squad is delighted to add Cummings’ abundance of knowledge and first-hand experience to the performance group.
Following his retirement from professional racing in 2019, the 43-year-old has been in the team car for four years, guiding riders to the highest-level results and is looking forward to a new chapter in his career with the Australian outfit.
“I’m really excited to be joining Team Jayco AlUla. This team has a strong reputation for its professionalism, and commitment to success, which aligns with my own values and experiences in sport,” Cummings said. “I’m looking forward to contributing to its ongoing success, helping all my teammates reach their full potential.
“For me, this is more than just joining a team – it’s an opportunity to be part of a culture that celebrates growth, resilience, and meaningful results. Naturally through having a long career within cycling, on and off the bike, I already know a lot of team members and I can’t wait to roll up my sleeves and get started with them.”
With a roster fortified with new and exciting talent for 2025, plus a change to the squad’s overall general classification leader following the welcome addition of Australian Ben O’Connor, Team Jayco AlUla is preparing for a standout season.
General Manager Brent Copeland is confident that Cummings’ presence in the team car will be a huge asset in the new year. “We are delighted to be welcoming Steve onto the team in 2025. His personality and professionalism is something that we believe will fit very well within our culture,” Copeland explained.
“Steve has such a wide skill set and is a very experienced sport director having of course experienced first-hand what it means to be a rider himself, having won at the highest level during his time as a pro rider. I was truly impressed by Steve’s attention to detail and visionary approach during our first conversation about the team. I immediately felt that he would bring a dynamic energy that we would all benefit from.”
