Australia’s World Tour cycling team to be renamed as Saudi Arabia partnership deepens

• GreenEDGE Cycling to be known as Team Jayco AlUla
• Latest in string of global sports deals linked to Saudi Arabia

Australia's World Tour team, GreenEDGE Cycling, will be known as Team Jayco AlUla next year after the Royal Commission for AlUla - an arm of the Saudi Arabian government - was elevated to naming rights sponsor.

Last year, GreenEDGE announced a partnership with AlUla, an ancient city in Saudi Arabia's north-west and home to a world heritage site. Under the new deal, AlUla is promoted to become the team's second naming partner alongside Jayco, the Australian motorhome manufacturer.
