Orica-AIS had a slower than usual start to the season and some bad luck as their star rider Emma Johansson broke her collarbone in a crash at the Novilon Eurocup on March.
They quickly picked up the pace when Lizzie Williams won the SwissEver GP Cham-Hagendorn, Gracie Elvin won Gooik-Geraardsbergen-Gooik, Amanda Spratt won the Giro del Trentino in June and Rachel Neylan won the overall title at the Trophee d’Or Feminin.

Johansson returned stronger than ever to give the team a victory at Durango-Durango Emakumeen Saria, stage wins and third overall at Euskal Emakumeen Bira, fourth overall at the Aviva Women’s Tour, double victories at the Swedish road and time trial championships, and overall wins at Internationale Thuringen Rundfahrt der Frauen and Lotto Belgium Tour.
All-in-all the team collected 16 wins this season, up from 13 last year.
