Alexey's racing career started for the BMC development team and Lotto Jumbo, he made a transition from the road, believing that the sponsorship model in professional cycling was flawed and that he could make more of an impact on the dirt.

As this dream has progressed, Alexey has been happy to find success not only in racing, but in community initiatives that, in his mind, provide as much promotion to a sponsor as a race win.

In 2023 Alexey is looking to improve on his 2nd place finish in the Life Time Grand Prix overall.

He’s a 34-year-old Australian whose entire life has been about his love of cycling. Nathan raced for numerous years in the UCI XC mountain bike circuit before switching to the road, where he spent 10 years in the world tour for various teams and had an absolute blast racing the biggest races all around the world. He always felt it had been such an honor to be able to follow his passion, and now, racing as a pioneer in the emerging gravel scene around the world, being supported by the brands he’s always loved, admired, and dreamed of working with, SILCA for example, his journey in the sport feels like it just keeps getting more fun and more amazing. If there's any legacy for Nathan to leave on this earth, it would be knowing that he inspired people
to ride their bikes and to taught them how to do it in the best and most fun way possible.
