Team Sunweb
Originating in 2005 as a merger of the Bankgiroloterij and Shimano teams, Team Sunweb eventually rose through the ranks to UCI WorldTour status and made its Santos Tour Down Under debut in 2013.
Now a registered team in Germany, the team possesses a fair swathe of Australian talent too - with powerful one-day race competitor Michael Matthews taking wins for the team in 2019.
At the Santos Tour Down Under, the team enjoyed prominence in the general classification in 2019 with Chris Hamilton finishing sixth overall and taking the Young Rider classification.
