Ben O’Connor returns to Decathlon CMA CGM

  • October 20, 2026

Grand Tour specialist Ben O’Connor will return to Decathlon CMA CGM in 2027 after two years with Jayco AlUla, the French team has announced.

O’Connor, 30, rode for Decathlon for four seasons between 2021 and 2024, winning stages of the Tour de France and Vuelta a España and finishing second overall at the Vuelta, before signing for Jayco AlUla in 2025.

Whilst his time at Jayco has been successful, with another Tour de France win added to his palmarès, he hasn’t quite reached his previous GC heights whilst wearing their jersey, and will now return to the team where he had many of his biggest successes.

“Ben O’Connor is back home!” the team wrote on social media, announcing his return.

He has signed a two-year deal.

The Australian will link up with the likes of Paul Seixas, the team’s young but already outstanding GC star, but as one of the most successful Grand Tour riders on their 2027 roster, he will still be able to expect opportunities to ride for himself.
