In 2025, two of South Australia’s leading cycling teams, Butterfields Racing Team (BRT) and Van Dam Racing (VDR), will unite under one banner. Together, we aim to empower cyclists, foster growth, and inspire the next generation. Our combined strengths and shared resources will create sustainable opportunities for riders across Australia.

Our Story

Butterfields Racing Team
Founded in 2017, Butterfields Racing Team was established by a passionate group of female cyclists and sponsors. Originally a local team focused on fostering women’s participation, BRT grew into a nationally recognised team known for its dedication and success within the Australian cycling community.

Van Dam Racing (p/b Butterfields)
Van Dam Racing, the older brother to BRT, has been at the forefront of South Australian men's cycling for nearly a decade. Known for providing opportunities to male riders, VDR emphasises balanced development—both on and off the bike.

The Future
In 2025, BRT and VDR will come together as one team, unified under a common brand and identity. This merger will maximise our resources, streamline our vision, and extend development opportunities to riders throughout Australia, paving the way for a new era in Australian cycling.
