Joe Dombrowski raced in the pro peloton across six teams and 12 years before he called it a career at the beginning of 2024. The US rider caught the attention of WorldTour teams when he won the overall at the U23 Giro d’Italia in 2012 riding on the Bontrager-Livestrong development team. He went on to notch a GC title at the Tour of Utah in 2015 and a stage victory at the 2021 Giro d’Italia.
The 33-year-old last raced the Tour de France in 2022 for Astana Qazaqstan, and completed both the Giro and Vuelta a España the next year to compile a total of 14 Grand Tour appearances as a rider. A resident of Nice and in an "exploratory period" for his next career move, Dombrowski rides his bike almost daily for recreation, mixes in running and winter ski touring. He will be on the other side of the fence for this year’s Tour finish, an individual time trial over Col de Eze and into his backyard along the Mediterranean coast.
