Jones will focus on Bay Crits and Herald Sun Tour when the team begin their season on January 1st in Australia. Jones won the points classification at the Tour de Korea in 2016, as well as two stages of the race and will front the head of the JLT Condor lead out train, supported by powerhouse, Ed Clancy, MBE, and seasoned sprinter, Russell Downing.

Team Manager, John Herety, has been closely following Jones after seeing him at the 2015 Bay Crits. “Brenton is a huge talent and a proven fastman. The team raced at the Tour of Korea in early 2016 and Breton impressed me in the sprint stages.”

Herety says he has a clear role for the new Australian signing. “Brenton’s addition to the squad, along with the re-signing of former World Pursuit champion, Alex Frame, further bolsters our sprint options, keeping us competitive at races we are targeting in Australia, America and in Britain.”
