The 2012 season for the cycling team began in January at the Bay Classic Series. As a UCI ProTeam, they are automatically invited and obligated to send a squad to every event in the UCI World Tour. The team formed for the 2012 season as part of a scheme to promote cycling talent in Australia, and not come into such difficulties suffered by another Australian team – Pegasus Sports – which folded without contesting a race due to sponsorship issues. Much of the team's ridership is Australian, almost entirely anglophone, and the team competes under an Australian licence; as such, becoming the first Australian team to be part of the top-tier of professional cycling. Its manager is Shayne Bannan, the former Performance Director of Cycling Australia, while team's senior Director Sportif is ex-professional road cyclist Matt White, who had a similar role at before being sacked. Known simply as for the first four months of 2012, the team acquired Orica as a title sponsor shortly before the Giro d'Italia.〔http://www.cyclingnews.com/news/orica-joins-greenedge-in-three-year-sponsorship-deal〕 ==2012 roster== Ages as of 1 January 2012. |nat=NZL|birthdate=}} |nat=AUS|birthdate=}} 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「2012 Orica-GreenEDGE season」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
