Team history

The team had a breakthrough season in 2017. In January Logan Griffin took second place overall to Joseph Cooper at the New Zealand Cycle Classic.[5] Sprinter Sean Whitfield then took the team's first Union Cyclist International win at the 2.2 ranked le Tour de Filipinas in February.[6]

The mid-season recruitment of South African Brendon Davids helped continue the team's run of success. He took the team's first Australian National Road Series win at Battle Recharge in September.[7] This was followed by a win for Davids in the General Classification at the Union Cycliste Internationale 2.2 ranked Jelajah Malaysia. Davids won stage 3 of the race with a solo breakaway, and clinched the overall classification by 24 seconds over Colombian Víctor Niño. Teammate Ryan Thomas won the youth classification at the event.[8]

In 2019, William Hodges won the 59th edition of the Grafton to Inverell Cycle Classic.[9]
