Key Information
Early life and development
[edit]Michael was born in Sydney, Australia, in February, 1997. His family later relocated to Perth, Western Australia.[9][10]
From the age of 7, Michael was raised in Perth.There, he became involved in cycling. He has also mentioned in various interviews and articles that he was encouraged by his older brother who competed in triathlons, cycling, and studied sports science.[11] As a junior and teenager, Michael began training with Midland Cycling Club[12][13][14] and WAIS.[15] In an interview with The Domestiques Podcast prior to the 2025 Giro d'Italia Michael discusses some of this and other areas around cycling with Mike Tomalaris et al (~11:00).[16]
Michael currently lives near the mountains in Northern Italy.[17] He also spent some time residing in Glasgow, Scotland, previously.[18]
Career
[edit]In August 2018, he was named in the startlist for the Vuelta a España.[19] He also competed in the 2019 Vuelta a España, and the 2020 Vuelta a España.
He rode the Giro for the first time in his career in 2021. He finished 31st while riding in support of Romain Bardet, who finished in 7th overall.
During the 2021 Vuelta a España Storer won the first grand tour stage of his career on stage 7 and then went on to win again on stage 10. With this he became just the 2nd Australian, after Michael Matthews, to win multiple stages in the Vuelta.[20] On stage 7 and then again on stage 18, when he went on a solo attack of about 70 km before being caught on the final climb, he was awarded the combativity prize for the stage. With his attack on stage 18 he also took over the lead in the King of the Mountains competition and held onto the jersey thereafter winning the competition outright.
In March 2025, Storer won stage 7 of the 2025 Paris–Nice in a solo move to Auron.[21]
