\u201cI\u2019m really excited to be joining Team Jayco AlUla.

\u201cFor me, this is more than just joining a team – it\u2019s 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\u2019t wait to roll up my sleeves and get started with them.”<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

His personality and professionalism is something that we believe will fit very well within our culture,\u201d <\/em>Copeland explained.

\u201cSteve 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\u2019s 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.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
