EF Pro CyclingPro Team

Jefferson “Alexander” Cepeda has been riding bikes since he was a child, growing up in the high mountains of Ecuador, where he was clubmates with his now EF Education-EasyPost teammate and good friend Richard Carapaz. He got his start racing as a 13-year-old and just three years later won his first race.

The 27-year-old brings a wealth of climbing talent to the team. In 2024, he soloed to victory at the Tour de l’Ain on the queen stage and also took the overall title. He was the best young rider and fourth overall at the Tour of the Alps in 2021. He went on to win the Ecuadorian road race national championship that season. At Le Tour de Savoie Mont Blanc, Alexander won stage two, which featured a summit finish on the Col du Galibier, as well as the general classification win and the points jersey. In 2022, he placed second overall at the Tour of Sicily and also earned the title of best young rider.

Alexander turned professional in 2017 and joined EF Education-EasyPost in August 2022, marking his WorldTour debut. His dedication to his teammates makes him an essential member of our squad.
