The video department at Orica-GreenEdge has been busy once more, creating this video to reveal the nine riders that will make up their Giro d'Italia team.

Orica have one of the best social media teams in the pro peloton, with regular viral videos emerging from the Australian squad, from musical tributes to filming some riders 'getting hypnotised'.

This time, however, they've toned down the jovial antics and simply put together a video montage for each of their chosen Giro riders, with the squad featuring Simon Gerrans and Michael Matthews.

Matthews took the maglia rosa leader's jersey after stage two of the Giro in Northern Ireland last year, winning stage six to Montecassino in pink a few days later.

Gerrans, meanwhile, is set to ride only his second Giro d'Italia as he continues his comeback from a string of early season injuries.

Among the squad's other members, Orica looks to be setting its stall out for the opening team time trial, with the likes of Luke Durbridge and Brett Lancaster among the many faces returning from last year's squad.
