Aussie talent Alastair MacKellar is excited for his second season in the WorldTour.

The 2023 Australian under-23 road and time trial champion was a consistent competitor in his rookie year. After making his debut at the Tour Down Under, Alastair proved that he can be a valuable teammate in some of the hardest races on the calendar. Competing in events like Milano-Sanremo and the Critérium du Dauphiné gave him confidence and experience that he will build on in 2026, as he works towards his long-term ambition of racing the Tour de France.

That dream began in Australia, where Alastair first saw the Tour Down Under. His dad was a cyclist and would take Alastair and his mates to see the race from the roadside. As soon as he saw the peloton race past, Alastair knew that was where he wanted to be.

He tore through the youth and junior ranks and at 19 moved to Europe to pursue a pro contract. A win on the fourth stage of the Alpes Isère Tour in 2024, as well as top class results in races such as Flèche Ardennaise and the Giro Ciclistico della Valle d'Aosta-Mont Blanc, earned him his spot on our squad.

For his second year as a pro, Alastair wants to keep his momentum rolling. He will focus on controlling what he can control and making the most of every chance he gets.

He still spends his winters in Australia, hanging out on the beach and rallying cars with his mates. Before the end of the Aussie summer, he’ll head back to Europe, where he now lives, just outside of Nice, France. He has found beautiful mountain roads to ride there, alongside a great group of training buddies, and lots of sun and sea. It’s a great place for Alastair to unwind and get ready to throw himself into all of the WorldTour action.
