SiS Chief Executive Stephen Moon commented:
"We are delighted to have signed this agreement with the
Australian Cycling Team in the lead up to Tokyo 2020. Signing such
an agreement with a well-established cycling body, I believe only
underpins the strength and best in class nature of our sports
nutrition products. As we continue to expand our footprint in the
attractive and fast-growing Australian sports nutrition market, we
are excited to have the opportunity to work with the substantial
Cycling Australia membership of circa 50,000 cyclists as they seek
to achieve their personal goals, and improve their fitness and
wellbeing."

said:
"We are pleased to confirm this partnership with industry
leaders SiS. Nutrition is an integral and critical component of
every athlete's success and the SiS world-renowned experts ensure
our national teams are in great hands.
"With our elite riders having the opportunity to work alongside
SiS staff to tailor their own plans, and all our members having
access to the SiS expertise, we look forward to seeing all our
cyclists achieve their very best."
