Aaron Gate, a seasoned cyclist, made his WorldTour debut with XDS Astana in 2025, after a successful tenure with various ProTeams. He quickly showcased his talent by securing a podium finish at the Cadel Evans Great Ocean Road Race, finishing second. Despite not clinching the win, he acknowledged Mauro Schmid's extraordinary performance and expressed the surreal feeling of having support from respected team members and the sports director, Mark Renshaw. The race, noted for its challenging course, highlighted Gate's adaptability and competitive spirit in his new career phase.
I really wanted to win today, and I raced to win and had to gamble a bit in the final there.
Hats off to him. He deserved the win. But it was also a pretty surreal feeling for me in the race meeting.
