The team is sponsored by Skil, a manufacturer of small power tools. The team has existed since 2005 but Skil previously sponsored a French cycling team, Skil-Sem, from 1984 to 1985, with a similar jersey.

Saxo signs Richie Porte, Skil signs Dominique Cornu
Amazing news for the 24 year old Tassie native who has only been cycling competively for 3 years. He won a stage in the Baby Giro along with other one day victories. The kid has worked super hard in Italy and for not being in the national squad this is a great achievement
Cornu only lasted a year at Quick Step and has now jumped ship to Skil-Shimano...It is reported that he is going to focus...
