AUSCYCLING, CYCLINGNSW & BICISPORT AFFILIATION
To ensure BiciSport continues to deliver its program of support for all members we have added an affiliation with AusCycling to our existing affiliation with CyclingNSW and when BiciSport members renew their membership via the CA/AusCycling website please ensure they select BiciSport as their club of choice.
BiciSport is now listed on the AusCycling website
At the practical level each BiciSport member has an annual renewal date (not everybody is 1 January 2021) and the majority of BiciSport members have an annual membership renewal date in February & March 2021. The new AusCycling organisation will continue to recognise your current Cycling Australia licence and allow you to race on that Cycling Australia licence up until the renewal date (you then switch to AusCycling).
You should expect to receive an AusCycling email directly to you just before your annual renewal date and you simply follow the prompts and rejoin (ensure you select BiciSport as your club of choice). Mike O’Reilly (BiciSport President)

Carrera Professional Team (1984-96) came out of the original Inoxpran Professional team (Inoxpran was established in 1979). Sponsorship was from Carrera Jeans, bikes were Battaglin from Italy, groupsets were Campagnolo. This team was Italian to the core.
The team was nothing but pure class with a seemingly endless supply of top quality talent … be it Gio Battaglin, Robero Visentini, Stephen Roche, Claudio Chiappucci, Guido Bontempi, Bruno Leali, Urs Zimmermann, Erich Maechler & Marco Pantani. Team manager was Davide Boifava.
The team won events all across Europe, be it one day Classics or the Giro, the Tour or a World Championship with Stephen Roche.
Stephen Roche won the Triple Crown in 1987 - the Tour de France, the Giro and the World Pro Road Championships
Stephen Roche wins the 1987 World Professional Road Championships in Villach Austria
