It was another busy month of racing for the team from Turkey, to Spain to Belgium, Holland and France. A standout performance was from young Australian sprinter Kaden Groves who cemented his place within the world's best sprinters once again, by taking his second victory of the season on stage two of the Tour of Turkey.
The 23-year-old began with a third place finish on the opening stage before getting his hands in the air on day two, followed by another close second place finish on day three. The results in Turkey made it 10 podium finishes for the Team BikeExchange-Jayco rider already this season, proving his rapid rise to the top with his electric turn of speed.

As part of his final preparations ahead of the 2022 Giro d'Italia, Simon Yates came down from altitude to race the three day Vuelta Asturias and the Brit delivered winning no less than two out of three stages. The 29-year-old took both wins in fine form, attacking and crossing the line alone.

Over in Belgium and Holland, Team BikeExchange-Jayco were in and amongst the action with five strong top-10 finishes. Despite suffering from illness which ruled him out of both Flèche Wallonne and Liège-Bastogne-Liège, Michael Matthews showed his form with seventh place finishes in both Amstel Gold Race and Brabantse Pijl.
Over in the women's team, Amanda Spratt proved that she was on a rapid return to top form, following on from last season's surgery for iliac artery endofibrosis, riding herself into numerous breakaway groups, finished off with a 10th place finish after a gutsy ride in Liège-Bastogne-Liège Femmes. Teammate Ane Santesteban climbed the Mur de Huy for 10th place in Flèche Wallonne Femmes and Alex Manly also enjoyed some consistent performances, capped off with a 10th place finish in Brabantse Pijl.
