Mission StatementTeam Polygon Australia’s undertaking is to provide a professional

structure with the support of its partners to enable a successful pathway

for all of its athletes, both men & women, into Australian National Teams as well as higher level

professional teams.

With this structure Team Polygon Australia aims to be a force in both the men & women’s National

Road Series in 2013 as well as strive to place its athletes into Australian Team’s at every given

opportunity.

KENYAN RIDERSInspired by the success of Kenyan long distance runners,

the cycling team was founded in Iten, Kenya – the small town

that produces the majority of the world’s marathon runners. The logic

for this was that if these endurance runners from Iten could win major

competitions, they could be trained to win a professional cycling competition.

Our Kenyan Riders have the heart, lungs and legs of marathoners. We want to be the

best climbers in the world…on a bike, and drug-free.

WORLD CUP MTB DOWNHILL TEAM“Our lifestyle and our way to conceive our passion is characterise

by three aspects. Ride, Ride, Ride!!! The most important is to be able to

share this devouring passion and this high adrenaline. And why don’t share it

with everybody.

Push your limits, prepare, explore new spots, practice complementary sports whatever the season

to reach your highest goal : the podium. But you can’t get there alone. Family members, friends,

the staff, everybody has its own part in the results. That’s where united comes from.

Respect our sport, respect our trail, ride with an open mind without taking yourself

to seriously and with the ability to enjoy every moment in life.
