Drapac Professional Cycling is an Australian cycling team based in Melbourne .
The team was founded in 2006 as the UCI Continental Team and mainly takes part in races of the UCI Oceania and Asia Tour . As of 2007, the team had a license as a UCI Professional Continental Team and has been driving as a Continental Team again since 2009. For the 2014 season, the team was registered again as a Professional Continental Team and therefore increased its roster.
The main sponsor, Drapac Capital Partners, is an investment fund operator. Drapac became its second name sponsor with the start of the 2016 Tour de France in anticipation of the merger with the US UCI WorldTeam Cannondale Pro Cycling Team in 2017. The Australian team takes on the role of the " farm team " of the WorldTeam under the name Drapac-Pat's Veg .
In April 2019, Damion Drapac, a son of main sponsor Michael Drapac, was killed when he was on his way to the ANZAC Day festivities and was hit by a car.
