Team history

Established in January 2015 by Tom Petty as Mobius Future Racing, with major sponsorship from Mobius Marketing and Design Consultants principals Jane Tribe and Guy Bicknell, these days Team BridgeLane takes its name from the BridgeLane Group, an investment firm located in Sydney, Australia. The team finished 2nd overall in the 2016 National Road Series behind Avanti IsoWhey Sports and 3rd in 2017. [2] [3] [4]

Outside of the NRS, the team has raced UCI events in the USA such as Tour of the Gila in 2017 and had riders represent Australia and New Zealand at World Championships on the track and the road. It has well established presence in various local racing scenes throughout Australia, as well as consistent success in State and National Open events. Several riders also compete in races in Europe and Asia throughout the year. [1]

For the 2019 racing season, Bennelong SwissWellness Cycling Team and the Mobius BridgeLane teams merged to become "Team BridgeLane" and retained their UCI Continental licence. [5] [6]
