Mikkel Honoré joins Jayco AlUla in 2027 with new 'perspective on life and cycling' after heavy crash that left him in intensive care

Mikkel Honoré is set to join Team Jayco AlUla for the 2027 season, bringing his experience from previous stints at Deceuninck-QuickStep and EF Education-EasyPost to the Australian squad. The 29-year-old Danish rider, who secured stage victories at the 2021 Itzulia Basque Country and Settimana Internazionale Coppi e Bartali, views this move as a significant career milestone.

Following a severe mid-season accident that resulted in multiple fractures and a collapsed lung, Honoré expressed a renewed appreciation for his professional career and is eager to contribute to his new team's objectives. His signing follows a series of recent roster additions for the squad, including Wil Holmes, Ben Wiggins, Jed Smithson, Adam Rafferty, Ugo Fabries, Oliver Bleddyn, Alessandro Fancellu, and Sam Welsford.
