VINNIE

Vinnie Manion joins Hagens Berman Jayco after a strong run of performances that established him as one of Australia’s promising young stage race riders. Throughout the 2025 season, Manion showed consistency across European racing, combining climbing ability with strong positioning and tactical awareness in multi-day events.

“Vinnie has a lot of upside as a stage racer,” said team owner and director Axel Merckx. “He shows great instincts in the way he manages races and positions himself when it matters, and we’re excited to see how he continues to develop.”
