Life goals
Be someone.
A local Sunshine Coast rider who joined the team as a 17 year old we have been excited to watch Taj develop from winning local crits to taking his first Pro win in the 2020 Tour of Langkawi. 2020 is going to be a key year for Taj and we believe he has the ability to be racing at the highest level.

Thor the God of Thunder strikes again! Taj Jones takes the 2nd stage in the Tour de Langkawi. Taj’s last win was in the middle of a lightning storm in America last year at @tourofamericasdairyland. @ltdlofficial is a @uci_cycling 2.Pro Race, the biggest race we can participate in. One for dramatics, Taj wins on a full moon 🌕 We are over the moon 🤭 for Taj and can’t thank the team behind him enough. Riders, staff, coaches, sponsors, supporters and family. Taj and the team have worked extremely hard for this win and it means the world. Thanks #letourdelangkawi for having us #livelearnride #ltdl #ltdl2020 •
