The Orica-GreenEdge team is set to change its name to Orica-BikeExchange ahead of the 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Tour de France, with the riders to sport a new kit for the three-week race and the remainder of the season.&nb🐼sp;

Although an official announcement is still pending, team owner Gerry Ryan 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:recently explained that he was on the verge of securing fresh backing, and the Adelaide Advertiser reports today that BikeExchange,🌠 the Australian cycling retailer whose logo already features on the sleeves of the team's jerseys, is stepping up as a titleไ sponsor. 

BikeExchange is run under the umbrella company Marketplacer, of which Ryan is a board member, and a&nbꦡsp;deal is said to be in place for the remainder of the 2016 season, with a view to extending into 2017. 

The Australian team was established as GreenEdge when it entered the peloton in 2012, 🧔and its name was changed when Orica, a company that supplies chemicals and explosives to the mining ind💦ustry, came on board part-way through that season. Orica recently announced that 2017 will be their final season as sponsors of the WorldTour team. 

They have en🌸joyed a successful 2016 season so far, with Mat Hayman winning Paris-Roubaix and Esteban Chave💫s going close to winning the Giro d'Italia - the team's first Grand Tour podium. 

July will see a switch back to their more traditional Grand Tour model, with 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:stage wins the priority at the Tour de France, where Michael Ma𝐆tthews, Simon Gerrans, and Adam Yat༒es will lead the line.
