Ben Oliver is a World class Mountain Biker and top road rider, having taken seventh place overall in the 2020 SBS Bank Tour of Southland. He is a true all rounder, and promises to give the team some real punch, especially when the roads tilt up. George Jackson is the current NZ Scratch Race Champion on the track and a former Junior World Champion in the Team Pursuit. He will be one to watch in the sprints and could take a run at the green jersey. Joe Chapman has won the King of the Mountains classification in the Tour of Southland multiple times in the past, and brings a wealth of experience to the team, having raced it more often than any other rider on the start line, bar Travis Kane. Josh Burnett is the reigning New Zealand Cyclocross Champion, former U23 NZ Mountain Bike Champion and also finished with a top 5 at UCI2.2 NZ Cycle Classic. As a local lad, he is sure to have the support on the roadside, and should relish the gravel on Stage 3 of the race. Jack Drage is the current U23 New Zealand Road Race Champion and as a lightweight climber he could be a dark horse for a run at the general classification. Jack is also the 2020 Junior Male Cyclist of the Year. Paul Wright is the 2020 Jesco King of the Mountain champion, and will be ready to get stuck in once again when the race heads up hill. Paul will also be one to watch on the gravel after winning the 2020 Hell of South with the NZ Cycling Project
