Oliver's Real Food Racing is a UCI Continental team founded in 2016 that is based in Australia. It competes in its home county as well as in the UCI Asia Tour. The team gained UCI Continental status for the 2018 season.[1][2][3] It is managed by former rider Samuel Layzell and was originally founded in Newcastle, NSW.[4]

The team had a breakthrough season in 2017. In January Logan Griffin took second place overall to Joseph Cooper at the New Zealand Cycle Classic.[5] Sprinter Sean Whitfield then took the team's first Union Cyclist International win at the 2.2 ranked le Tour de Filipinas in February.[6]

The mid-season recruitment of South African Brendon Davids helped continue the team's run of success. He took the team's first Australian National Road Series win at Battle Recharge in September.[7] This was followed by a win for Davids in the General Classification at the Union Cycliste Internationale 2.2 ranked Jelajah Malaysia. Davids won stage 3 of the race with a solo breakaway, and clinched the overall classification by 24 seconds over Colombian Víctor Niño. Teammate Ryan Thomas won the youth classification at the event.[8]
