About Jay

In December 2020, Vine was initially announced to be joining UCI Continental team ARA Pro Racing Sunshine Coast for the 2021 season.[6] However, as a result of winning the 2020 Zwift Academy program, he earned a professional contract with Belgian UCI ProTeam Alpecin–Fenix.[3][4]

Vine made his Grand Tour debut in the 2021 Vuelta a España,[7] ultimately placing 73rd. He also featured in several breakaways, the most notable of which were on stages 12 and 14. On stage 12, he was the last remaining rider of a late breakaway attempt and was caught inside the final kilometre.[8] Two stages later, with 35 kilometres (22 mi) left, Vine dropped back to his team car, and as he was collecting something, he drifted into the side of the car and crashed. He picked up some road rash but was able to recover for a third-place ranking on the summit finish to Pico Villuercas.[9][10] As a result of his performances during the Vuelta, Alpecin–Fenix extended his contract by two years
