Aussie talent Alastair MacKellar is excited for his first season in the WorldTour. Alastair secured his pro contract with a win on the fourth stage of the Alpes Isère Tour as well as top class results in races such as Flèche Ardennaise and the Giro Ciclistico della Valle d'Aosta - Mont Blanc. He is the 2023 Australian under-23 road and time trial champion and has been a consistent competitor in the world’s hardest amateur races. Making it to the WorldTour has been his goal ever since he moved to Europe when he was 19 years old.

His ambitions were first sparked when he went to watch the Tour Down Under as a child. 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.

All of the work he has put in to make his dream come true has now paid off.

For his first WorldTour season, Alastair is going to focus on controlling what he can control and making the most of every chance he gets. Long term, Alastair’s great ambition is to race the Tour de France. He would also love to close the circle and compete in the WorldTour peloton at the Tour Down Under.

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, where he has found beautiful mountain roads to ride, 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.

That is what Alastair is going to do in his rookie season.
