Starting the season out in good shape, Onley took his first UCI level top five on GC at the Circuit des Ardennes. Working hard for teammates in the next part of the season, Onley’s 2022 would ignite after taking an impressive ninth place on debut at the Giro d’Italia U23. July would see him take a mountain-raid breakaway stage win to Cervinia at the Giro Valle d’Aosta before an impressive seventh on GC at Sazka Tour against professional opposition. Racing on home roads at the Tour of Britain he played a part in the team’s stage win before he was catapulted into the general public’s consciousness at the CRO Race. On the two most hilly stages, Onley would fight it out with Tour de France winner Vingegaard, taking two second places and ultimately ending the race with a brilliant third place on GC.
