Following 40 years of success being based in Adelaide and working with the South Australian Sports Institute (SASI), AusCycling’s national sprint cycling program will relocate to Brisbane in 2025.

AusCycling has made the decision to move the program to Queensland where it will be co-located with the national BMX freestyle and BMX race programs in the new Action and Acceleration Centre of Excellence.

SASI is proud of its contributions towards the successful Adelaide-based national sprint program where athletes have consistently won medals at Olympic, World Championship and Commonwealth Games events through to Paris 2024.

Notable sprint performers who were based in Adelaide include Olympic medallists Anna Meares, Ryan Bayley, Michelle Ferris, Shane Kelly, Matthew Glaetzer and Leigh Hoffman.

SASI will continue to partner with AusCycling to deliver world class aerodynamic engineering to the national sprint cyclists in the Australian Centre for Sports Aerodynamics, where the State Government has invested $12 million in this state-of-the-art facility to give Olympic/Paralympic hopefuls a major competitive edge.

AusCycling and SASI will be partnering to deliver a new Centre of Excellence for the national track endurance and Para-cycling programs, and these programs will continue to be based at the Adelaide Super-Drome and further supported by use of the new $88 million SASI Mile End facility.

We wish the Australian sprint program athletes and coaches the best of luck in their new training environment.
