Alan Hatherly<\/strong>, Paul Double<\/strong> and Max Walscheid<\/strong> will lead Team Jayco AlUla<\/strong>\u2019s ambitions at the six-day Tour of Guangxi<\/strong>, which starts on 14 October.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recently crowned double mountain bike XCO world champion, Hatherly will focus on the overall classification. He will share that responsibility with Double, who soloed to his first-ever overall victory at Okolo Slovenska last month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meanwhile, Walscheid has his sights set on stage victories in the multiple expected sprint finales.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Providing backup on the flat and rolling terrain, as well as the sprints, will be a strong engine room of riders. Luka Mezgec<\/strong> and Bob Donaldson<\/strong> will be key in the leadout for Walscheid, while Jasha S\u00fctterlin<\/strong> and Patrick Gamper<\/strong> add yet more power in the core of the squad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI\u2019m really excited to finish my season off at Guangxi. I think it\u2019s a race that suits me really well, and coming off of my MTB season, I think I\u2019ll be ready for that type of effort. It\u2019s been a great year of learning the ropes with the team and I\u2019m already looking forward to rebuilding into 2026 with what I\u2019ve learned this season. I still have big goals on the road and I\u2019m curious to see where it takes me.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMax will be our sprinter and Alan and Paul are our men for GC. The ultimate goal is to take wins, and we have chances across all the stages as well as the overall. This is a great opportunity for Max who doesn\u2019t often get the chance to sprint for himself, so I\u2019m looking forward to seeing how this goes. It is a similar situation in the GC. Paul has won a couple of pro races this season, and in my opinion, he has had a great first season racing at WorldTour level. Guangxi is a great opportunity to test himself again at this level. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alan showed his best form on the road in AlUla when he was in the fight for overall win. Since then, he has performed exceptionally well on the MTB, notably winning at the World Championships. It\u2019s always tricky to balance the two disciplines, road and MTB, but Guangxi is a good opportunity for him to demonstrate his versatility and talent. I hope he will also be in the mix for the GC. The other riders are equally important helping the boys realise the opportunity. It\u2019s a real positive that we have options on all stages.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
