Elite Women

With New Zealand winning all 11 elite women’s titles a year ago, Australia will be looking to return to the top step of the podium, though with a strong team New Zealand they will be tough to beat on a home track.

Olympic Champion Ellesse Andrews (New Zealand) who claimed four gold a year ago looms large in the women’s sprint competition. As one of the fastest sprinters in the world who won sprint and keirin gold in Paris, will be the name to beat in the women’s sprint competition eyeing four sprint gold medals in the last five years. After missing the 2025 Championships, Kristina Clonan (Australia) will be looking to reassert herself and reclaim the sprint and keirin titles she won in 2024.

Alessia McCaig (Australia) who has eight medals over the last four years including two team sprint titles is eyeing her first individual gold.

In the endurance events Ally Wollaston (New Zealand) fresh off dominating the Tour Down Under and Cadel Evans Great Oceania Road Race will be eyeing more Oceania titles. The Kiwi star claimed four gold in 2022 and a record five in 2024 and will be tough to beat. Her toughest competition may come from her countrywoman Bryony Botha who has 12 Oceania title to her name including the individual pursuit in a then world record time, Madison and team pursuit titles from a year ago.

The Australian challenge will come from the likes of Olympian Maeve Plouffe who claimed the scratch race title in 2020 and Chloe Moran (Australia) who claimed four titles in 2023.
