Jai Hindley (born 5 May 1996) is an Australian professional cyclist who currently rides for UCI WorldTeam Team DSM.[3]

Career[]

After joining the team for the 2018 season,[4] Hindley made his debut for Team Sunweb at the 2018 Volta ao Algarve. In August 2018, he was named in the startlist for the Vuelta a España.[5] In May 2019, he was named in the startlist for the 2019 Giro d'Italia.[6]

Hindley started the 2020 season well by winning two stages and the general classification in the Herald Sun Tour in February.[7] He started the Giro d'Italia in October. He moved up to third place on the general classification after finishing third on Stage 15.[8] He won stage 18 which was considered the "Queen stage" crossing the Stelvio Pass. He moved up to second place overall after the stage and also took the lead in the young riders classification.[9] He finished second to Tao Geoghegan Hart on the mountainous stage 20 to move into the overall lead with the same time as Geoghegan Hart.[10] The final stage of the Giro was a 15.7 kilometre time trial. Hindley finished with a time 39 seconds slower than Geoghegan Hart, which meant Hindley finished the Giro in second place overall.[11]

Hindley withdrew from the 2021 Giro d'Italia prior to the start of stage 14. He was suffering from a saddle sore.[12]
