Amanda Spratt (“Spratty”) had early success as World Junior Champion on the track in 2004 in the Points Race. She then began racing on the road in Europe from the age of 18. After a bad injury and 1.5 years away from the sport, Spratty became a professional road cyclist in 2012, her first contract with Orica-GreenEDGE, and became National Champion in the same year.

 

Amanda became National Champion again in 2016 and won the Cadel Evans Great Ocean Road Race the same year. This success continued in seasons to come, being on the podium regularly in other prominent races such as The Women’s Tour Down Under (1st in 2019), the Liege-Bastongne-Liege (2nd in 2018), Amstel Gold Race (3rd in 2018) and Cadel Evans Great Ocean Road Race (3rd in 2019 and 2020). In 2020, Amanda was back on the podium at the National Champs, retaining her road race crown.

 

She has established herself as one of the best climbers in the world with a number of top results at World Championships - 2nd in Innsbruck in 2018, and 3rd in Harrogate in 2019.  She also has a podium finish in GC at the Giro Donne in 2018.

 

Spratty represented Australia at the Tokyo Olympics and also was part of the national squad for a home World Championship in 2022. She has been riding for Lidl-Trek since 2023 and is thriving there alongside a star-studded team line up.
