This Australian team was probably best known last year – its first season in the WorldTour – for their online video rendition of pop artist Carly Rae Jepsen’s Call Me Maybe hit song.  It was a great PR move, given the team’s relatively young  history – formed in 2011 – as they created much needed buzz among the media and their fans.  They’ve yet to win a TdF stage, but have had several stage wins in the other major Tours.

The Scott Foil with Shimano groupset will be the bike of choice once again, and the Scott Plasma for the time trials.
