On October 28 Gracie Elvin signed a contract extension. On November 4, Katrin Garfoot signed a contract extension. On November 13 Melissa Hoskins signed a contract extension. On December 3, Macey Stewart and Alexandra Manly joined the team.
Riders out
On November 13 Carlee Taylor left the team to join Lotto Belisol Ladies.
2015
The team opened its account at the Bay Classic Series where Gracie Elvin took victory in the second stage of the race. This was followed up by a double win in the Santos Womens Cup courtesy of Valentina Scandolara and Melissa Hoskins.[5]
Former road race world championship silver medallist Rachel Neylan joined Orica-AIS at the end of March. [6]
Loes Gunnewijk would have to prematurely retire from racing early after sustaining a broken shoulder from the year before, Gunnewijk would return to Orica-AIS in 2016 as a trainee director sportif.[7][8][9] In August 2015, it was announced that Johansson would leave the team at the end of the 2015 season and join Wiggle High5 on a two-year deal for the 2016 season.[10] Melissa Hoskins would move away from Orica-AIS to concentrate her efforts on the track in the lead up to the 2016 Rio Olympics.[11] Valentina Scandolara moved to Cylance looking to advance a more leadership role and hoping to secure an Olympic placement.[12]
2016
Three new signings were announced for 2016, from the disbanded Velocio-SRAM American Tayler Wiles and Australian Loren Rowney, and from Bigla Dutch Annemiek van Vleuten. After Emma Johansson left as Orica-AIS team leader and Loes Gunnewijk retiring as road captain, Gracie Elvin and Amanda Spratt were given the opportunity to step up as team leaders.[13]
However Orica-AIS's roster aspirations didn't go to plan in 2016, Chloe McConville had planned to retire mid-way through 2016 but was forced to retire early due to a prolapsed disc back injury while on recon for the Tour of Flanders.[14][15] Another casualty of the Classics season was Lizzie Williams when injury, depression and anxiety took its toll on Williams.[16][17] In between road seasons, Macey Stewart participated in Track World and Oceania Championships, then onto working towards Rio 2016 left Stewart drained, and decided to spend more time with family.[18]
Midway through the 2016 season, Orica-AIS signed Jess Allen and Jenelle Crooks from Rochelle Gilmore's High5 Dream Team Australian development team.[19][20]
For both the men's Orica-GreenEDGE and women's Orica-AIS teams, GreenEDGE Cycling's headline naming sponsor Orica two year contract would be coming to an end at the end of 2016, but Orica decided to extend their sponsorship for one more year for 2017 to provide GreenEDGE extra time to search for new sponsors.[21][22] On the same month as Orica publicly announcing in June 2016 its exit from GreenEDGE, GreenEDGE Cycling's owner's Gerry Ryan OAM's co-owned business BikeExchange took place next to Orica as naming sponsors for the men's Orica-GreenEDGE squad on the eve of July's Tour de France while the women's team maintained the same team name since Orica sponsored the team.[23] Ahead of the 2017 season, GreenEDGE's sole longstanding bicycle supplier Scott Sports took up the task as naming sponsor alongside Orica for 2017, unifying both men's and women's teams under the same name for the first in GreenEDGE's history.[24]
The roster of riders for 2017 remained largely the same as the 2016 season closing, but with Orica-AIS not keeping Tayler Wiles due to an uncertain 2017 budget for GreenEDGE as Orica prepares for its final year as sponsor.[25] Australian track racer Georgia Baker took Wiles' place in the 2017 team roster.[26]
2017
With Scott Sports taking more prominence as a naming sponsor, non-drivetrain components from Shimano subsidiary PRO such as seatposts and handlebars were replaced by Scott subsidiary Syncros.[27][28] Also for 2017, Italian clothing brand Giordana replaces all apparel previously supplied from Swedish company Craft.
At the end of January, Loren Rowney officially announced her retirement from professional racing.[29] Orica-Scott would sign long time BePink team member Georgia Williams from New Zealand who had taken a pause from road racing to focus on the track at the Rio Olympics.[30]
After a few Women's World Tour podiums over two years with Elvin, Roy, and van Vleuten; Orica-Scott accomplished its breakthrough WWT win on Stage 4 at 2017 The Women's Tour with sprinter Sarah Roy.[31]
