Hansen, the 2014 king of the mountains victor at the Tour Down Under, will be given the opportunity to pursue personal objec♉tives, as will De Gendt after his stints in the 2016 Tour de France and Vuelta a Espana's KOM jerseys. De Bie will also have opportunities although his early-season aims are for a good showing in the Ardennes.

"Sean De Bie, Thomas De Ge๊ndt and Adam Hansen will pick their stages," added Sergeant. "For James Shaw, Australia will be his début as a pro rider. Just like neo-pros Rémy Mertz and Enzo Wouters he gets the chance to grow without any pressure."

The seven-man team remains the same for the Cadel Evans Great Ocean Road🌟 Rac🦩e on January 29 in Geelong and the new Australia Day criterium on January 26.

Sergeant also announced that the rider from the Australian rac🎶es will also be in consideration for the February races, Ruta del Sol and Volta ao Algarve (February 15-19), Vuelta a la Región de Murcia (February 11) and Clásica de Almería (February 12), and the Abu Dhabi Tour (February 23-26).
