Nico and Kaden add a powerful combination of experience, speed, and tactical brilliance - setting the stage for exciting moments on the road and the Team’s continued success.
Nico Denz, a three-time Giro d’Italia stage winner, is renowned as an explosive all-rounder with a sense for breakaway opportunities. Since joining the pro ranks in 2016, the 32-year-old German has established himself as an invaluable team player - reliable and always ready to seize the decisive moment.
Looking ahead to joining Tudor Pro Cycling in 2027, Nico shares: “I'm truly excited about this new chapter. Three years ago, I came close to joining Tudor Pro Cycling - now I’m delighted it’s become a reality. I already know many people on the staff and among the riders from my previous teams, and I look forward to working with them again. Tudor Pro Cycling is a dynamic, young, and ambitious Team, and I see opportunities to grow, contribute, share my experience, and achieve great things together. And as a passionate watch enthusiast, wearing the shield on my chest in the future makes me proud!”
Kaden Groves, with 21 career victories, is among the select group of riders to have claimed stage wins in all three Grand Tours. Since turning pro in 2020, the 27-year-old Australian is on an impressive journey from the Sunshine Coast to the pinnacles of professional cycling - a journey sparked unexpectedly by a motocross injury that saw him trade engines for pedals.
Kaden is clear-eyed about his ambitions: "I've followed Tudor Pro Cycling for several years and have seen their impressive growth and development. I'm thrilled to join the Tudor Pro Cycling family and contribute to the next big goals. Continuing the upward momentum is our primary goal. Personally, I’m eager to take the next step in my career - returning to the Tour de France to fight for stage wins and the green jersey is at the top of my list.”
Raphael Meyer, Tudor Pro Cycling CEO and Co-Owner, comments: “We’re excited to welcome Nico and Kaden for the next three years. Both bring a wealth of experience to the Team and will be invaluable mentors for our younger riders. At the same time, we see great potential for their continued growth and next steps in their careers. Nico’s race intelligence, instinct for opportunities, experience, and loyalty have made him a highly respected and valued rider within the peloton. Kaden brings impressive firepower for bunch sprints, hilly terrain, and tough finales. We look forward to working and growing together with them!”
