In 2017, Kuldīga-born Neilands won the Latvian National Road Race Championships, and stage 5 at the Tour d'Azerbaïdjan. At the 2018 Milan–San Remo, Neilands attacked on the famous Poggio di San Remo climb. He got a small gap to the peloton with Vincenzo Nibali; however, Neilands could not keep up with Nibali, who later won the race, while Neilands finished 23rd. In May 2018, he was named in the startlist for the 2018 Giro d'Italia.[5] He finished the race 73rd overall. In August 2020, he was named in the startlist for the 2020 Tour de France.[6]
Neilands competed in the 2023 Tour de France.[7] On Stage 10, he found himself in a breakaway consisting of 14 riders, which he attacked solo 54 kilometres from the finish. He was caught with 3 kilometres left in the stage,[8] eventually finishing in fourth position behind Pello Bilbao, Georg Zimmermann and Ben O'Connor.[9]
