Changed 小旅行する team still has Australian デオキシリボ核酸

A cursory look at the 小旅行する de フラン start 名簿(に載せる)/表(にあげる) begs the question - is the only 最高の,を越す-level Australian cycling team still Australia's team?

While Mitchelton-Scott will have Luke Durbridge, Michael Hepburn and debutant Jack Haig in their 小旅行する 顔触れ, the Australian trio will have support 役割s.

British rider Adam Yates is their main hope, with twin brother Simon as his No.1 domestique.

どこかよそで, Australian pocket ロケット/急騰する Caleb Ewan will make his much-心配するd 小旅行する debut at Dutch team Lotto-Soudal.

His 議論の的になる last-minute omission from Mitchelton-Scott's 小旅行する 顔触れ last year 除去するd any 疑問 about Ewan switching teams.

どこかよそで, 目だつ Australians Michael Matthews (Team Sunweb) and Simon Clarke (EF Education First) are also Mitchelton-Scott alumni.

Simon Gerrans, a 創立/基礎 member when Mitchelton-Scott started as GreenEdge in 2012 and their greatest rider, is now retired.

But team general 経営者/支配人 Shayne Bannan says for all these 目だつ changes, their philosophy has not 転換d.

"I can sum it up やめる easily - we're a 全世界の team with Australian デオキシリボ核酸," Bannan told AAP.

The three 重要な 人物/姿/数字s off the bike at Mitchelton-Scott - Bannan, benefactor Gerry Ryan and men's team director Matt White - are all Australian.

Their powerful women's team is No.2 in the world and Amanda Spratt ぼんやり現れるs as a gold メダル 競争相手 at the Tokyo Olympics.

What has changed - and this is no 事故 - is the leaders in their men's team.

権利 from when Bannan 納得させるd Ryan to bankroll GreenEdge, the goal was to 勝利,勝つ the 小旅行する de フラン.

But Bannan knew that would take time and 進化.

So GreenEdge started with a 焦点(を合わせる) on sprints and one-day classics, with Australian Matt Goss their first marquee rider and Gerrans soon assuming that 役割.

Then (機の)カム the 調印 of the Yates twins and Colombian Estaban Chaves in 2014.

These were the team's first Grand 小旅行する hopes, riders in their 早期に 20s to be developed from the ground up.

Adam Yates struggled at the 小旅行する last year, but Simon gave Mitchelton-Scott their first Grand 小旅行する 肩書を与える in September at the Vuelta a Espana.

Bannan 公式文書,認めるs their next wave of Grand 小旅行する talent has an 完全に Australian flavour.

While Haig and 略奪する Stannard have 可能性のある, the big hope is Ararat native Lucas Hamilton.

He was the 最高の,を越す-placed Australian this May with 25th at the Giro d'Italia, his Grand 小旅行する debut.

Hamilton was there to support eighth-placed Simon Yates and made a 大規模な impression.

"What Lucas did 逮捕(する)d the imagination of a lot of people, because he was still there at the 商売/仕事 end of a Grand 小旅行する at such a young age (23)," Bannan said.

"I would already put him into that '可能性のある 星/主役にする' 部類."

Hamilton is still probably another couple of years from his 小旅行する debut, but watch this space.

"Of course, the ultimate 目的(とする) one day is to really 押し進める for the 最高の,を越す podium in the 小旅行する de フラン," Bannan said

"A lot of things have to 落ちる into place. But that's certainly the 全体にわたる 目的(とする) of the organisation."
