Matthew Dinham (born 9 April 2000) is an Australian cyclist, who currently rides for UCI WorldTeam Team Picnic–PostNL.[3][4]
Early life
[edit | edit source]Dinham was born in South Africa and lived there until he was 11.[1] He started riding at the age of four, trying most of the other disciplines of cycling before settling on road. Dinham became an Australia citizen in 2017 a few weeks before he represented Australia at the UCI Mountain Bike World Championships[1]
Career
[edit | edit source]Dinham sprinted to seventh at the UCI World Under-23 Championships Road race in 2022.[5]
DSM 2023 to present
[edit | edit source]The first Grand Tour that Dinham rode was the 2023 Tour de France where he rode in support of Romain Bardet.[6] He finished the race in 58th and ninth in the Young rider classification.[7]
Dinam was a last minute call up for the Road race at the 2023 UCI Road World Championships after Caleb Ewan decided not to race.[8][9] The race plan for Dinham involved going into the early break and take some of the pressure off Michael Matthews. But Matthews dropped out of contention so Dinham took it upon himself to get a good placing. When the favorites caught his breakaway, Mathieu van der Poel attacked. Dinham was the only rider from the break to be able to follow, he joined the likes of Wout van Aert and Tadej Pogačar. Van der Poel kept attacking and the bunch split into groups with Dinham being in the bunch that sprinted for fifth where he finished seventh.[9][10]
