Hello and welcome to a new series where we will help you get to know some of our staff and riders. Obviously we have no ideas who will be our riders but I can introduce you to our staff! Starting with...
Name: Jackson Hughes Nationality: Australian Role: General Manager Nickname: Hughesy (Aussies are original aren't they) Languages Spoken: English, Italian, French. Short Bio: G'day! It's me. I'm a hugely passionate cycling fan and manager from South Australia, more precisely Willunga! That's right, as a kid I watched the legends punch up the famous Willunga Hill to victory in the Tour Down Under. As I kid I was the most passionate cricketer, footy player and cyclist, not to mention general sports nerd. In the end despite my hard work a career as an athlete never took off and I turned to management. I started in various assistant roles and now I'm here, as GM of a whole new and exciting cycling project. I look forward to keeping you guys updated and generally sussing out all the important stuff, especially in the off-season. See you later!

As a DS, I like things neat and tidy, lots of control and the like. I love breakaways and attacking, but usually discuss these with the riders. If not, we control the peleton. I hope to help out with the African riders and races, as our great country once ruled over their colonies.
Au revoir, I'm sure we'll meet again once the racing begins!

When we contacted Endura and asked them to produce our jersey for the next few years, they put us straight through to their best designer, HuDCC. He is renowned as one of the brightest new talents in jersey designing, and we were ecstatic that he accepted our offer.
We asked for a slick design and, as it always is when you enlist a designer of his caliber, we weren't disappointed, let down, or in any way unhappy. Except one little thing we asked him to redo, but that's just personal preference.
Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls of all ages, I present to you...
