Cameron Scott may be sitting right at the top of the rankings when it comes to Australia’s National Road Series, but the 24 year old is under no illusions that stepping into the WorldTour in 2023 is going to be a whole new learning curve. 

The ARA Pro Racing Sunshine Coast rider has signed with Bahrain Victorious for 2023 and 2024, quickly catching the WorldTour team's attention with top results as soon as he got an opportunity to race in Europe. In May at the 1.2 ranked Dutch race, Ronde van Overijssel, Scott just missed the victory in a tight run sprint and then the next month he stepped up to the top step of the podium at the Memorial Philippe Van Coningsloo.
