British climbing talent Paul Double<\/strong> will make the step up to the WorldTour peloton in 2025 after signing a two-year contract with Team Jayco AlUla<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 28-year-old has racked up a string of impressive results at ProTeam level over the last two seasons, including a general classification podium place at the Tour of Turkey, plus top-10 finishes overall at Il Giro d’Abruzzo and the Tour of Slovenia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Double has spent most of his career racing in Italy, working his way up from Continental, to ProTeam and now he will finally get the opportunity to make his mark in the WorldTour peloton in 2025. <\/ins><\/p>\n\n\n\n

GreenEDGE Cycling<\/strong> management believe the Englishman from Winchester can become a key climbing domestique, as well as a rider capable of taking his own results when the opportunities present themselves, and are looking forwarding to seeing Double unleash more of his great potential.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Brent Copeland (General Manager):<\/u><\/strong>
\u201cWe have been following Double and his progress and he is a rider that we are adding to strengthen our climbing group for 2025. He is a talented climber and domestique, but he will also get his own opportunities to go for results with us, in smaller races and even one-day races that have hard finishes. He has experience and it will be great to see him step up into the WorldTour environment and see what else he can achieve.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Paul Double<\/u><\/strong>:
\u201cI am very excited to sign for Team Jayco AIUla for 2025 and 2026. It\u2019s a proud moment for me personally to be joining such a well-established WorldTour team after the somewhat interesting path I have taken to reach this point. It was important to me not to step into \u2018any\u2019 WorldTour team but one that I felt would have a well-suited environment and vision for me as a rider – I firmly believe this is the case with Team Jayco AIUIa.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019m a climber and have been performing consistently well in stage races, as well as hilly one-<\/ins>day events, and I hope to continue in this vein and build further. I also look forward to experience races of the highest level surrounded by top, experienced riders in the squad, where I hope to display my qualities, aiding Team Jayco AIUIa to success, personally, and as a team. I know that I arrived in the sport later than most but I\u2019m also seeing my trajectory as a rider positively increase at a rate I didn\u2019t experience in my younger years. For that reason, I\u2019m grateful to the team for the opportunity to see how far we can take things!\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
