Jack Ward, a 20-year-old mountain biker, recently secured a significant contract with Lidl-Trek Future following his impressive performances in the Tour of Bright and ProVelo Super League. His second-place finish overall at the Tour of Bright established him as a top contender, leading to a development role with Team Brennan and showcasing his climbing and sprinting skills that drew attention from international teams. Despite being offered a stagiaire position with Jayco-AlUla as a winner's prize, he opted for a more promising contract with Lidl-Trek Future.
When Australian Jack Ward launched into the opening stage of the Tour of Bright in December of 2024 and... sprinting to the stage 1 win, a path began to unfold that has now led to the 20-year-old mountain biker signing with development team, Lidl-Trek Future, through to the end of 2027.
That ProVelo victory not only delivered the guarantee of a 2025 stagiaire role with Jayco-AlUla - a much sought-after winner's prize - but his performances through the events once again highlighted his combined climbing prowess and sprint power, raising the interest levels of a number of international teams.
