"A team is only as strong as its weakest link"
In the month of December in 2014 a deal was being made. Mr Jak Love has met with Fox Sports and Golomt Bank in the city of Brisbane. They are there discussing a very important matter. Mr Love has come with a plan, a plan to start the most successful Australian team ever. With the help of Fox Sports he hopes to achieve that. Golomt Bank is also there to help with funding in exchange for Mr Love to hire a few Mongolian riders.
The team will be supported by 2 more sponsors that go by the names of:
Felt is a bicycle manufacturer. They have decided to sponsor us due to their connection with Fox Sports. We will be riding fantastic bikes for the coming season. We are trying to get Felt back into the Professional Peloton.
Why this name?
Gruppetto is the Italian word for Bus. In cycling everybody knows it as the last peloton with weaker riders in mountainous rides
Azzurro is a sort of blue. This refers to our Country "Italy".
Even in the name of our national team this color is used. Their name is "Squadra Azzurri"
Gruppetto Azzurri will be making all of our jerseys and things like that. We are very honoured to have such a big clothing sponsor with our team!

"The better the tools, the better the ride!"
Something big is happening at the Fox Sports - Golomt Cycling Team. Let's head straight there.
Here is the Manager Jakstar22 ready to present the team to the world!!
Team Foxsports is extremely pleased to present this years frames provided by the Felt Racing Development team.
The felt A5 frd road frame!
The felt AI time trial frame!
Team Foxsports is very pleased to have Specialized onboard as the official helmet supplier.
For the road they are supplying us with both the Prevail and the Evade aero helmets with unmatched air flow and in the case of the Evade superb wind resistance!
And for Time Trialing they are providing us the cutting edge technology afforded with the McLaren!
We are also proud to announce that Rudy Project has taken on the resposibility to supply us with the newest, lightest and strongest version of their Genetyk eyewear.
Along with designing our "State of the Art" team suits, Gruppetto Azzurri has graciously provided us with the lightest weather resistant accessories available.
Zipp has lent us two great assets, lead designer Felix29 has come up with a great assortment of of wheels, while their "Special Projects" department has provided us with a New Age Technology flywheel.
Not to be ignored SRAM has put forth its latest Red components and Full Speed Ahead has given them the lightest and yet sturdiest K-Force platform to hold them.
Seeing as our riders are going to the office upwards to 5 hours a day, we chose to ensure the premium choice in saddle comfort. Fizik was the inevitable choice and we are pleased to announce that they will supply us with the road Antares and Time Trialing Ares saddles.
Lastly, but not least, we are so very excited that Skoda Australia has chosen to be our official team car supplier.
With that "Sheila's and Mates" I give you Australia's newest and best cycling team: The 2015 Team Foxsports - Golomt Continental Cycling Team!!!

"Using the Pain is How You Win Races!"
| Goal | Country | Race | Achieved | Result | | Win |  | Great Ocean Road Race |  | 19th - Wim De Vocht | | Win | | Herald Sun Tour | | 36th - Erdenebayar Daspuntsag | | Top 5 |  | Lincoln GP | | 8th - Gert Steegmans | | Top 10 |  | Tour of the Middle East | | 20th - Timothy Roe | | Top 10 | - | Continental Standings | | 24th - Fox Sports - Golomt Cycling |
With the 2015 season fast approaching it seemed like now is a good time to post the teams goals for the 2015 season! We are not sure how we will go with these goals this season as we have selected them without having signed any riders. However we did this in the hope that riders will see our goals and then want to ride for the team.
So because we are an Australian team we have big ambitions of doing very well in Australia. Our main goal is the Great Ocean Road Race. This is a very beautiful race with amazing views and great roads. This is a race that we believe we could have a shot at winning.
Our 2nd goal is another top priority one. The Herald Sun Tour is a stage race around Victoria. A great race with a lot of potential to one day hit the pro tour. This is a race that we would very much like to win!
3rd we have the British one day classic, the Lincoln GP. A hilly/cobbled race around the streets of Lincoln. It is an exciting race that has always produced a very thrilling race day. We would like to get a top 5 in the United Kingdom.
The 4th goal is in the United Arab Emirates. It is a long stage race called the Tour of the Middle East. This race has mountains, flat, hills and TTs. It is a real test for the team. We have decided that getting a top 10 here is more then enough to satisfy us and our sponsors.
Finally we have decided that our goal in the Continental Rankings is to get Top 10. This will be a challenge and we will have to be going hard all year long but it is a goal that can be achieved with hard work and determination.

Even if he won't be the best, he'll probably have the team with the most soul, which is pretty much the same thing, right? |

Going to be a long haul to be the best Aussie team ever but as many have said there is a gap for a new Oceania team, lets hope you make it past the first season unlike most of the other teams that have tried. |
