Hi! I’m an 18-year-old cyclist from Perth, Western Australia.

In 2025 I’m proud to have had the opportunity to race in Europe for the majority of the year and picked up lot of experience that guided me to my first European wins across Belgium and the Netherlands.

For 2026 I’m making the jump up to under 23 and I’ve signed with Team Novo Nordisk Devo Continental Team, a development-based team that will give me the chance to race across multiple countries, gain valuable experience, and continue progressing toward my ultimate goal: reaching the World Tour as a professional cyclist.

This is a huge step forward in my cycling career, but as with many young Aussie cyclists, the biggest hurdle isn’t motivation or work ethic, it’s funding.

What I Need Support For:

While I’m incredibly grateful for this opportunity, it comes with significant personal expenses. In 2026 I am responsible for covering:

• Accommodation while based in Europe
• Food and day-to-day living expenses
• Transport between races
• Insurance and health-related costs

Why it matters:

This isn’t just only about chasing results; it’s about learning and gaining the experience and exposure I need to earn a future contract and keep climbing toward the top level of the sport. Your financial contribution brings me closer to making that happen.

What you get in return:

All doners will gain access to a private communication group that allows for the sharing of updates on my journey to a professional career in the sport. I will update the private group regularly with personal preperation, training and racing insights so you are part of my journey. I feel I have not come this far without the significant support of others and I want to take them on the journey with me. You will be part of this important network of people who have influenced me positively.

Thank you for reading this far!

Kind Regards, Donovan.
