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.

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]
