Team Jayco AlUla<\/strong>\u00a0is pleased to welcome newly crowned Italian Road Race champion\u00a0Filippo Conca<\/strong>\u00a0to the team roster with immediate effect having signed a new contract through 2027.
\u00a0
The 26-year-old, who currently rides for Swatt Club, will pull on a new Team Jayco AlUla race jersey later this week as he is set to make his debut for the Australian outfit at the upcoming one-day race Franco Belg on 15th of August.\u00a0
\u00a0
Having spent the majority of the 2025 season racing gravel events, the talented climber claimed a surprise win at the national championships. The victory further confirmed his pedigree as a rider, having already been on the squad\u2019s radar for some time.\u00a0
\u00a0
Ready to take another step forward on the road, Conca will have the opportunity to settle into GreenEDGE Cycling this season, giving the 26-year-old a head start ahead of an important full 2026 season on the road.\u00a0\u00a0

Filippo Conca\u00a0<\/strong>
\u201cI’m really happy to join Team Jayco AlUla, I chose this team because I’m confident that I’ll find the ideal environment to work hard. Before making my decision, I consulted my colleagues and the staff, and they all told me that at Jayco AlUla, I would find a family that can support me personally and on a sporting level.\u00a0<\/em>
\u00a0
Another thing that is important to me is that I’ll continue to use the same equipment as I have been using this year \u2013 Giant and Cadex. I’ve had a great experience with both and so I’m happy to be able to continue with the same bike and wheels.\u00a0<\/em>
\u00a0
My dream is to race in the Giro d’Italia, and to do so wearing the Italian national jersey. I think it’s a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. I want to thank Team Jayco AlUla for the trust they’ve placed in me; I’m sure it will be repaid.\u201d<\/em>

Brent Copeland – General Manager<\/strong>
\u201cFilippo clearly has a lot of talent and that was highlighted not only by his win at the Italian championships but also if you look back at his past results. He was unfortunately plagued by a number of challenges as a professional cyclist which caused several setbacks and inhibited him from showing his true potential. Now we are pleased to give him the full support he deserves in order to reach his ultimate goals.\u00a0

I would personally like to thank Carlo Beretta and his team at Swatt Club for making this transfer for Filippo an easy one and giving him and ourselves the full support. It has been a pleasure dealing with Filippo and his team and we very much look forward to working him.\u201d<\/em>
