MELBOURNE : Australian cyclist Jai Hindley will continue to race for Bora-Hansgrohe in 2025 after signing a contract extension with the German UCI WorldTeam outfit.
Media had speculated Hindley might seek opportunities elsewhere following Bora’s signing of Primoz Roglic, the four-times Grand Tour winner.
However, Hindley will remain at Ralph Denk’s team in service to the Slovenian.
“(Bora) have been a huge part of my career and development. It’s really become like a second family for me, and I feel at home here,” said Hindley, Australia’s second Grand Tour winner following Cadel Evans.
Hindley, the 2022 Giro d’Italia winner, won a stage on his Tour de France debut last year and briefly wore the yellow jersey won by Jonas Vingegaard.
But he finished seventh overall after a major crash stalled his podium challenge.
He will return to the Tour de France starting in late-June and is targeting a medal at the Paris Olympics’ road cycling if selected for Australia.
