Team BridgeLanes is in it's first year, following the amalgamation of well established teams run by directors Andrew Christie-Johnston and Tom Petty. The Partnership was born from a desire to provide the best pathway for Oceania based riders to progress to the World Tour level, joining alumni including, Richie Porte, Nathan Haas, Jack Haig, Ben O'Connor, Chris Hamilton, Robert Stannard and Patrick Bevin. Importantly, beyond this development based aspiration, the team also places an emphasis on performance and community engagement, working on it's involvement with schools, junior riding programs and local charities.
