Bennelong SwissWellness Cycling Team p/b Cervelo

Bennelong SwissWellness Cycling Team p/b Cervelo (UCI team code: IWS) is an Australian UCI Continental cycling team focusing on road bicycle racing. Based in Tasmania since its establishment in 2000, the team's original title sponsor was a Tasmanian restaurant chain, Praties, but Genesys Wealth Advisers, an Australian financial planning network, has taken over this role in 2010. The team was founded by Andrew Christie-Johnson and Steve Price.[1]

The team is currently the top ranked team in Australia's National Road Series (NRS). It has competed overseas in the Tour of Qinghai Lake (2.HC), Tour de Taiwan (2.2) and the Herald Sun Tour (2.1).

The team was invited to compete in the Team Time Trial of the 2013 UCI Road World Championships as the Oceania representative.[2]

For the 2016 season the team secured the sponsorship of sports nutrition company, IsoWhey Sports.[3]

For the 2017 season the team merged with SwissWellness,[4] securing the teams immediate future after Avanti announced they would stop sponsoring the team in October 2016[5]

The 2018 season saw Bennelong Funds Management secure primary naming rights of the team.[6]
