Welcome to Team Budget Forklifts
Team Budget Forklifts is a Men's Cycling Team competing in UCI Continental Races on both the Oceania and Asian Continental Circuits. The Team also competes in the National Road Series throughout Australia. Formed in 2008 the Team has already impacted greatly on Australian Cycling.
The team is made up from a mix of more experienced riders to very young riders, the idea being the young riders are mentored and reach their full potential.
Last year Budget Forklifts were invited to compete in the Jayco Herald Sun Tour, a feat in itself and competed against world class teams, with Stuart O’Grady from Saxo Bank winning the event.
Team Budget Forklifts also supports elite female cyclists.
Cycling is the fastest growing sport in the world and Budget Forklifts believe as a low impact, ecologically friendly and a sport the whole family can enjoy is worth supporting and developing further.

 Hi all, Well I am writing this report after a successful Stage 5 of the 2010 GMHBA Tour of Geelong. After the disappointment of yesterday’s individual time trial I wanted to set things right, have a good day and move up on the overall classification for Team Budget Forklifts and myself.

 Stage 4 of the Tour of Geelong was a 20km TT, starting and finishing in Portarlington. Fortunately, we woke to fairly good weather this morning, which was a great change of pace to the almost cyclonic conditions we had experienced in the previous stages! Matt Wood was to be the first to head off, closely followed by myself, then Blair Windsor, Pete Herzig, Glen Chadwick and finally Cam Jennings.

Well we were greeted with another wet and windy morning but all in good spirits to get back out there and fly the BFL flag. 60km around a 2km circuit. The flag was dropped, the gun fired and off the race went at a blistering pace. With bonus seconds up for grabs every second lap Drapac obviously want to get their team mate and race leader Rhys Pollack some extra time early

Hi all Well it was another tough stage, primarily due to the wind, rain and cold conditions. For those that may know me, I have never performed the best in the rain and cold, and my performance in the criterium in the morning backed this up. I was useless in the morning, but was determined to have a good stage in the afternoon. In this stage last year I raced well and managed to sprint to 2nd on the stage.

Wet, windy and cold sum up the first stage of Tour of Geelong. The first day is usually the most nervous on tour and the weather conditions did not help. A 60km crit saw the start of the 2010 Tour of Geelong and we were all excited to pick up from where we started off after the successful Tour of Gippsland.
