Career
[edit | edit source]Early years
[edit | edit source]Dombrowski began mountain biking in 2006, cyclo-cross in 2007 and road racing in 2009, racing for local Virginian team Haymarket Bicycles. He competed with Trek–Livestrong, a UCI Continental team, for the 2011[15][16] and 2012 seasons.[17][18] During the 2012 season, Dombrowski garnered significant results.[19][20] He won the Girobio, finished fourth at the Tour of Utah, and placed tenth at the USA Pro Cycling Challenge.[21][22]
Team Sky (2013–14)
[edit | edit source]Dombrowski signed with Team Sky, a UCI ProTeam, for the 2013 and 2014 seasons.[23][24] During the 2013 season, Dombrowski assisted British teammate Chris Froome in various multi-day races.[25][26] During the 2014 season, Dombrowski underwent successful iliac artery surgery.[27][28]
Cannondale–Garmin (2015–19)
[edit | edit source]Dombrowski signed with Cannondale–Garmin, a UCI ProTeam, for the 2015 and 2016 seasons.[29][30] While preparing for the 2015 Vuelta a España, he won the Tour of Utah.[31][32] He recommitted to Cannondale–Drapac for the 2017 and 2018 seasons.[33][34] He remained with the team, now known as EF Education First, into 2019.[35] In 2019 he won another stage in the Tour of Utah and turned in his best performance in a Grand Tour coming in 12th place overall in the Giro d'Italia.
UAE Team Emirates (2020–21)
[edit | edit source]In September 2019 it was announced Dombrowski had signed a two-year contract with UAE Team Emirates.[36] During the COVID-19 pandemic-affected 2020 season, Dombrowski's best general classification result was 26th at the Settimana Internazionale di Coppi e Bartali,[37] while he finished 43rd at the Giro d'Italia.[38]
At the 2021 Giro d'Italia, Dombrowski was part of a 25-rider breakaway on a rain-soaked fourth stage; he went clear of the field on the final climb, and soloed to a 13-second victory over Alessandro De Marchi.[39] His first victory in Europe since winning the 2012 Girobio,[40] Dombrowski moved up to second overall in the general classification – trailing De Marchi by 22 seconds – and assumed the blue jersey of mountains classification leader.[39][40] The following day, Dombrowski crashed into a race marshal manning a traffic island in the last 4 kilometres (2.5 miles) of the stage to Cattolica. He remounted and finished the stage some eight minutes down, but abandoned the race the following morning with concussion.[41][42] At the Vuelta a España later in the season, Dombrowski again featured in a first-week breakaway, this time on the third stage to a summit finish at Picón Blanco in the Province of Burgos.[43] Dombrowski attacked this group with 5 kilometres (3.1 miles) to go, with only Kenny Elissonde and Rein Taaramäe able to follow; Taaramäe – who was also part of the Giro d'Italia breakaway – went on to take the stage by 21 seconds ahead of Dombrowski.[44][45]
Astana Qazaqstan Team
[edit | edit source]In October 2021, Dombrowski signed a two-year contract with Astana–Premier Tech, later renamed as the Astana Qazaqstan Team, from the 2022 season.[4]
