One of international cycling’s most promising young and raw talents, Teniel Campbell, has signed up for the next two seasons, plus Slovenian time trial champion Urška Žigart and young Italian Arianna Fidanza also join the ranks, adding a youthful injection to the team's line-up for next season.

Hamilton and Mezgec sign new deals

Australian climber Lucas Hamilton and Slovenian sprinter Luka Mezgec have both signed new contracts with Mitchelton-SCOTT ahead of the 2021 season.

Hamilton, who took his first WorldTour victory on stage four of Tirreno-Adriatico this year, has scrapped his existing contract for a new and extended version for the second consecutive year as the team continue to advance him as their next general classification leader.

Mezgec will race with Mitchelton-SCOTT for the next two years, an exciting period for the 32-year-old that will provide a mix of personal opportunities and a return to lead-out duties with the return of Michael Matthews to the squad.
