Career
Team Sky (2018–22)
Born in Banteer, County Cork, Dunbar joined Team Sky in September 2018, after his previous team Aqua Blue Sport – whom he had joined at the start of 2018[7] – encountered financial issues, and with approval from the Union Cycliste Internationale (UCI), agreed to an early release from his contract.[8] He competed in the 2019 Giro d'Italia and came third in Stage 12 of the race.[9][10]
Team BikeExchange–Jayco
In August 2022, it was announced that Dunbar was to join Team Jayco–AlUla from the 2023 season, on a three-year contract.[11] He finished 7th in the 2023 Giro d’Italia.
