Women’s Race Director Kimberley Conte added, “To have the GreenEDGE team race here in the Santos Festival of Cycling is a significant achievement for the organization. The team will infuse excitement into the race and will serve to inspire the domestic field, including riders who may be heading to Tokyo as well as those who may one day find themselves wearng the green and gold.”

It will surely be a different one for us (in 2021) and for everyone, but we are doing everything possible to give that sense of normality to our sport and the community. We are also very excited as we will participate with a new Team name and look and doing it for the first official race of the year in Australia is an extra motivation for us. We will try to achieve the best result possible in our first official appearance of the season.”
