Xero Racing p/b Octagon 2016


22nd November 2015 | Wellington, New Zealand
I checked my notes were in order. I checked my tie was straight, my suit just right. I wasn't used to dealing with these small matters of appearances, but then again, I wasn't used to dealing with the New Zealand Government. Or a subsidiary of it, at least. I gulped. This was their reputation to uphold. With Kiwibank leaving cycling for a while back there, and Bewley running evermore rampant, how many tricks did our showpony have? On the home front, how do Octagon stop themselves being left behind?

I step out into the light. Representatives from our sponsors, guests, important people from Cycling NZ, wearing looks of skepticism, looks of hope, nerves, all for their own various reasons. And goddamnit, it's my job to tell them what they have been working towards the last few months, what it will look like, why it isn't a waste of money. After all, there's another option out there. The very name of our natural rivals hangs over us like some bad horror movie ghost, waiting to feast upon those who dare utter the words. It's silly, in my opinion. It's not we don't think rivalry is a good thing, it's just been thrust upon us.

The mic is on. I've no excuse not to start now. I open my mouth and know that this is it. I'm here.

The Primary Sponsors

These are our men with the money. Our sugar daddies, if you will. But they're no random rich sheikhs. These companies all have a passion for the sport, and, just as important if not more, the project itself.

About: Octagon is the sports and entertainment marketing division of the Interpublic Group (IPG). The IPG is one of the "big four" advertising companies and so being sponsored by the South African arm of the sports arm of the IPG is a smaller deal but with big background.
Contract Until: 2016
Focus Nations: South Africa, Africa*

Octagon will help us get our name on the backs of buses, billboards, wherever, in our target countries. Good for publicity, finances and fans.

About: The overnight success that is Xero is now a international company still based in little ol' NZ. They develop online accounting software for small businesses (like our own?)
Contract Until: 2017
Focus Nations: New Zealand, Australia, Great Britain (minor), United States (very minor)

Xero stepped in at the last minute, but should be a great asset for the team. They'll be welcoming to the idea of sponsoring us, at least.

The Secondary Sponsors

Spoiler
i.imgur.com/sfT53TJ.png

About: Has nothing much to do with either government but helps bring New Zealand and South African businessmen and women together. Not related to the NZABC, a NZ-government approved company with the same values who unfortunately said no.
Contract Until: 2017
Focus Nations: South Africa, New Zealand, Africa (minor)*

i.imgur.com/pbXXaXp.png

About: Another government-backed, state-owned sponsor, Kiwibank is a subsidiary of New Zealand Post. Of course as many of you know they were involved as a title sponsor for Becherovka, one of the best teams in the world. They left as the team pursued a more Slavic focus, and want to start helping building a team from scratch where no pesky Eastern Europeans will give them the boot.
Contract Until: 2018
Focus Nations: New Zealand

i.imgur.com/NPKGy3t.jpg

About: My Food Bag is another hotshot emerging modern Kiwi company, an online food delivery service philosophising in “Eating food from the ground, sea or the sky. A sure-fire way to enjoy food the way nature intended, with less preservative, salts and a host of other artificial things. With recipes being focused on bringing natural ingredients forwards as the heroes”. We will help spread the word as they hope to develop this message with local (not always possible for us) and free-range produce.
Contract Until: 2017
Focus Nations: New Zealand, Australia

Why am I not surprised you have gone with a NZ based team?
It'll be difficult for you in the transfer season with quite a few small teams and a very limited market, hopefully you can have more success than other Kiwi teams in the past!

Bewley? Okay. Pfft

Welcome to the game jandal, great job with nicely looking HQ. bwiggins made a nice work with a jersey, that should be somewhat easy to spot. Good luck in 2016, you will need it with your crowded focus areas. Smile
I'll be back

@LLS - Hehe, maybe because I'm a nationalistic patriot if there ever was one Pfft Thanks for the well-wishes, it will be hard but I'm sure we can divide and conquer for now, my African secondary focus should help me out there Wink

@marco - Thanks a lot, and yes they are some ambitious goals, but I hope to achieve them someday Grin

@Avin - Our #1 star, why not? It's most certainly a long-term goal, for a few years down the track yet Wink Thanks for the welcome and the compliments, bwiggins certainly did a stellar job Grin Thanks again, and yep, it's going to be tough in NZ this season Wink

Gonna be so confusing now that you changed your team name, so it has p/b in it like me. Two NZ with fairly similar names! Pfft

Wiggo and Simon Gerrans!

Nice opening post sets the scene nicely and good to see an intention to be in the game for the long term.

Great jersey by bwiggins.

Best of luck in the transfers, hope NZ manages to produce lots of new talents Wink.

@bwiggins - Just for unnoficial purposes, presented by a sports marketing company makes sense and its a lot of what they will be doing for us anyway. But yeah Smile

@D2B - Thanks a lot, especially from a guy with an awesome HQ start like you that means a lot Grin Hopefully we have some fresh blood from NZ soon or it will get dry fast Wink and bwiggins is just amazing Pfft

Great opening post, I am really looking forward to see what you can do in CT considering you'll have a fierce opposition in transfers but especially how you'll update your HQ. That's a great start!

Best of luck Wink

@Dippo - Thanks Grin

@Ian - i used your godsent Jamal Kuriba in CX, what do you want now Pfft Cheers, means a lot to have a fan Pfft

@matt - Wow, thanks a bunch! Will try to keep this HQ updated, maybe not regularly in February time but certainly its a goal of mine throughout the year. Yep, it's tough down under for riders at the moment, again my African focus helps take off the heat but not much.

@sutty - Cheers! the_hoyle did an amazing job with the banners Grin

I was really thinking your team would be Venezualan, quite surprising that you went with New Zealand Shock Pfft

Nice HQ Though and good luck dominating the season with Bewley on your side. Grin Pfft
