<\/a><\/p>\nAnnounced with the reveal of a new 2017 kit today, the teams will adopt the new name from their 2017 season debut at the Mitchelton Bay Cycling Classic on Sunday, 1 January in Australia.<\/p>\n
Scott has been the outfit\u2019s official bike sponsor since its inception as Australia\u2019s first ever WorldTour team, GreenEDGE Cycling, in 2012. Their increased commitment will see the men\u2019s and women\u2019s teams share the same name for the first time in history.<\/p>\n
Scott Sports Vice President Pascal Ducrot said the sponsorship goes beyond a simple transaction and its commitment was the obvious next step in what is a long term commitment to the team\u2019s potential. \u201cScott and GreenEDGE Cycling go back to the beginning, to the first race,\u201d Ducrot said. \u201cWe recognised from the start that our shared philosophy around building young talent has been our advantage. Today we are really proud to announce that we are upping the level of our commitment. This is the next step, and for us it was quite obvious.”<\/p>\n “We are here to build on the success of the team because we believe there is still tremendous potential. Another real advantage of our partnership is their talents off the bike. Their team culture and the way they use individual performance to drive a team spirit is very similar to how we run our company.\u201d<\/p>\n Orica’s General manager Shayne Bannan welcomed Scott, proud to move towards the future with a partner who shares the team\u2019s values and ambitions.<\/p>\n \u201cWe are thrilled to have Scott step up into a major, co-naming rights sponsor for our team,\u201d Bannan said. \u201cTheir progression as a sponsor follows ours as a team and together we believe the partnership will achieve great things in the coming years.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cWe are committed to providing our men and women the best environment and equipment to achieve maximum results. Scott Sports\u2019 dedication to this cause, right from day one, has already seen us come a long way since our inception. Now, together, we look forward to taking the next major steps. After a breakout 2016 season, we are extremely excited for what 2017 holds for us.\u201d<\/p>\n In addition to the use of Scott Sport\u2019s Foil, Addict and Solace bike range, the team will also benefit from access to the full Scott Sports group, including bicycle components brand Syncros. \u201cTo be successful at this level you simply have to have the best equipment,\u201d Ducrot continued. \u201cWe know this as well as anyone so we are putting the full force of the Scott Sports group behind this partnership. This way GreenEDGE Cycling can benefit from our expertise across every category. The best example of this is probably Syncros. They make incredible products that integrate seamlessly with our bike. It\u2019s a huge win for the team.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a>\n<\/div>\n
