I grew up in Queensland, moved to Bendigo as a teenager, and found cycling through mountain biking. I represented Australia at the World Championships in 2011 and 2012, spent time racing in America, and eventually joined the Australian Institute of Sport's Under 23 program in Europe — which is where everything changed.

I turned professional with Orica-GreenEDGE in 2016. In 2018, I was part of the team when Simon Yates won the Vuelta a España — my first experience of what a Grand Tour-winning team actually looks and feels like from the inside. That left a mark. My first personal win came at the Tour de Pologne in 2017, and in 2021, in my first season at Bahrain Victorious, I finished third overall at the Vuelta a España — the result that defines what I'm capable of at my best.

"Maybe they were missing some more experienced guys that really know how to steer the ship in the right direction in certain critical moments. I hope I can step into that."

After a couple of seasons that were leaner than I'd have liked, I signed with INEOS Grenadiers in late 2025 on a two-year deal. It was the obvious choice — a team with the genuine capability to podium at a Grand Tour, and the ambition to win one. My role isn't to chase a personal GC result. It's to bring a decade of Grand Tour experience to bear in the moments that matter, and to help guide the next generation of contenders toward the top step.

I've lived in Andorra since 2016. The altitude, the climbs, the community of riders — it's a place built for this sport. In 2018 I opened a café and restaurant there with my wife, one of the first specialty coffee spots in the country, which we ran until 2020. Life outside racing has always mattered to me. It's what keeps the racing in perspective.
