Orica-GreenEdge makes its debut at the Tour de Yorkshire this week with a strong sprint squad spearheaded by Caleb Ewan with Adam Yates also selected for the three-day race.
Ewan had a successful start to the season on home soil with two wins at the Tour Down Under and a stage at the Jayco Herald Sun Tour and will be looking to get back to winning ways at the UCI 2.1 race before his Giro d'Italia debut in just over one week.
With an eight-rider team built for success in Yorkshire, sports director Matt Wilson is expecting his squad to deliver.

"It's a short three day race and it will be aggressive," said Wilson. "We have a really good squad together for Yorkshire and I'm excited to be working with these guys."
"The team is well rounded with a fantastic balance of youth and experience, not to mention speed. We will be well suited to the sprint finish on stage two providing we can keep Caleb (Ewan) at the front over the hills."
Ewan will have leadout men Luka Mezgec and Magnus Cort at his disposal, while Alexander Edmondson makes his stage race debut in Europe with Orica-GreenEdge and bolsters the sprint train with Paris-Roubaix winner Mat Hayman in a team captain role.
