Campbell Stewart signed a two-year deal with Bike Exchange, becoming the fifth New Zealander to sign with an Australian team.The 23-year-old Campbell won a silver medal in the omnium at this summer's Tokyo Olympics and a track world title in 2019.

Campbell spent 2018 on the Team Wiggins roster, but his primary discipline has always been track. He rode consistently on the road in the second half of the year, and his race program included the Tour of Norway and several competitions in both France and Belgium as part of the Black Spoke Pro Cycling Academy.

"I have followed GreenEDGE Cycling for years and am excited to join," Campbell said in a press release issued by his future team.

Campbell is well aware that the first few months of the 2022 season will be a transitional period for him to compete on the World Tour on a permanent basis.

"It's an incredible opportunity for me and I'll do everything I can to make it work. Of course, I will need time to adapt to the new environment, but I am sure I will fit in well with Team Bike Exchange and the team spirit... I will start working with the staff and team members in December and January, and while I focus on road biking, I want to learn as much as I can from everyone I'm looking forward to learning as much as I can from everyone while focusing on road biking.

General Manager Brent Copeland welcomed Campbell to the team, highlighting the New Zealander's pedigree on the track and the progress this young rider has made on the road so far in his career.

"Campbell is without a doubt one of the most extraordinary track cycling talents in the world. His multiple world championship medals and silver medal in the omnium at the Tokyo Olympics speak for themselves. Campbell has also shown his ability on the road, winning two races in France and a stage win in New Zealand this year," Copeland said.

"Our team has always been careful to find talented riders. That's why we decided to offer him the opportunity to join our team, confident that he can continue his career as he begins to focus on the road."

Campbell is the fifth newcomer to the Australian team, with Lawson Craddock, Matteo Sobrero, Alexandre Balmer, and David Jesus Pena joining ahead of 2022.
