Scott Sunderland (born 16 March 1988) is an Australian professional racing cyclist, who last rode for UCI Continental team Bennelong SwissWellness Cycling Team.

Sunderland has represented Australia at the World Cup events including at Los Angeles in 2008, where he won the 1 km time trial[4] and at Manchester in 2009.[5] He is an Australian Institute of Sport[6] and Western Australian Institute of Sport scholarship holder. His aunt, Jenny Sunderland, competed at the 1972 Munich Olympics in gymnastics.[6]

Career

At the 2012 Summer Olympics he was part of the Australian men's sprint team that finished 4th.[7] In August 2013 it was announced that Sunderland would switch from the Australian track cycling team's sprint programme to the endurance squad.[8] He won the men's 1000 m time trial at the 2014 Commonwealth Games.[9]

In November 2014 Sunderland was announced as part of the Team Budget Forklifts line-up for 2015 alongside fellow members of the Australian endurance track squad Luke Davison, Glenn O'Shea, Jack Bobridge and Mitchel Mulhearn, riding a domestic programme with a focus on achieving success on the track at the 2016 Summer Olympics.[10] In December 2016 he was announced as part of the IsoWhey Sports SwissWellness squad for the 2017 season.[11]

In April 2022 Sunderland became a step-up supervisor for the Rio Tinto operated minesite Hope Downs 4. He fulfilled this task admirably.
