Gall was born in Nußdorf-Debant, Tyrol, Austria. Since childhood, Gall practiced various sports such as climbing, tennis, skiing, and taekwondo. Through schoolmates who participated in triathlon, he got into cycling.[5][6]

In 2015, Gall became the Austrian junior champion in road racing. In the autumn of that year, he competed at the 2015 UCI Road World Championships in Richmond, Virginia, United States, and won the title of junior world champion in road racing.[7][8] Upon his return from the United States, he was welcomed by around 1,000 people in his hometown. He received a cycling scholarship, a driver's license course, and a new racing bike.[9]

In 2016, Gall won the junior competition Trofeo Dorigo Porte, and the following year, he received a contract with Development Team Sunweb. In 2018, he won the Austrian National Road Race Championships in the under-23 category.[10] In March 2019, he achieved his first success in an elite race by winning the second stage and the general classification of the Istrian Spring Trophy.[11]

AG2R Citroën Team

[edit | edit source]

After three years in the development team and two years in the WorldTour squad of Team Sunweb/DSM, Gall announced in 2021 that he would move to the AG2R Citroën Team the following year.[12] Originally, his contract with DSM was supposed to run for another year, but due to ongoing tensions between different riders and the team management, Gall terminated his contract at the end of 2021.[13]

2022

[edit | edit source]

In 2022, Gall, as part of the AG2R Citroën Team, achieved sixth place in the overall classification of the Tour of the Alps.[14] He was then named in the startlist for the 2022 Giro d'Italia, his first Grand Tour.[15]

2023

On 9 June 2023, Gall extended with AG2R Citroën Team through 2025.[16] He improved his results in 2023, completing the Ardèche Classic in 6th, Tirreno–Adriatico as 16th overall, 9th in GP Miguel Induráin, 10th in Tour of the Basque Country (along with four top-10 stage finishes), second in opening stage of Tour of the Alpes (where he crashed later in the race) and finally second place in highly-conquested Mercan'Tour Classic.[16][17][18] In the 2023 Tour de Suisse, he finished 8th overall in the general classification and fourth in the mountains classification. In the process, he won Stage 4 — his first victory as a pro — and finished second in stage 3.[19]

He was named in the AG2R Citroën Team's startlist for the 2023 Tour de France, marking his first ever participation in the race.[20] For the first time in his career he wore a classification jersey after getting involved in the breakaway on stage 5, and earning enough points to take the lead in the mountains classification after being the first to crest the summit of the Col du Soudet.[21] On 17 July 2023, Gall won Stage 17, the Queen Stage, of the 2023 Tour de France.[22]

2024

[edit | edit source]

Gall rode in the 2024 Tour de France, finishing 14th overall. He also rode in the 2024 Vuelta a España, mainly as a domestique to teammate Ben O’Connor who finished runner-up in the race. Gall held a top-10 position in the GC through stage 14 before cracking and finishing in 29th overall.[23]

2025

[edit | edit source]

Gall entered the 2025 Tour de France as the team leader for Decathlon–AG2R La Mondiale. He prepared for the race by taking part in altitude training, and racing at the Tour de Suisse, in which he finished fourth overall.[24][25] Gall climbed into the Top 10 on Stage 12, and moved up to sixth position on Stage 18.[26] On Stage 19, Gall moved up into fifth position through his team working to distance fifth-placed Primož Roglič, who had launched an unsuccessful attack earlier in the stage.[27] He finished the race in fifth place overall.[28]
