It has been a long winter but road cycling has finally returned. This weekend the Australian riders take on the national championships, and in the women's Elite road race it was Brodie Chapman who took the title.
Chapman, now riding for Trek - Segafredo, benefited from an early attack, and went solo off the front in the final ascent, riding to a solo win. Grace Brown and Amanda Spratt closed the podium, leading the chase group in 31 seconds behind.

- Police are better than jihadist with a suicide vest.
Front24205-07-2025 - I find this Pog hating really disturbing. And, ironically, the hating itself often comes across as arrogant. And weird, like when a commentator said, as Pog gave a quick, cheerful smile as a cameraman passed him on a bike, 'There's Pogacar playing up to the cameras'. Then Jonas was filmed really hamming it up for the cameras with a fixed grin and sardonic little wave for at least five seconds, and the commentator said nothing. (Not blaming Jonas, just the biased commentators and reporters)Hill3305-07-2025
- I would take that "not looked at the stages" comment with a pinch of salt. What rider doesn't look at the stage profiles? Plapp knows full well what is ahead of him in the race. This is just a throwaway comment.Cyclingsbestfan05-07-2025
- Roglic gives the best interviews, IMO. He is entertaining and straightforward in a way similar to Peter Sagan. And similar to Vincenzo Nibali, Roglic doesn't boast or make bold predictions. When all factors go right for him, he often delivers the goods. One of my favorite riders in forty years. He and Kuss made a great duo.itsent05-07-2025
- I couldn't agree more, why Soler? He's disobedient, irrational with his absurd "attacks". Only with Pogacar acts as a domestique but disrespects all other team leaders. I don't get why is in the Tour de France or.. even more, why is in the UAE team. A crazy element, a "caballo loco" who doesn't contribute to the teams.
maria2024202405-07-2025 - They'll need Soler to assist if Tadej cracks terribly and still want others in the team to keep their podium. That's my guess.

- The UCI is terrible and should be abolished. They do everything possible to stop cycling tech from improving, leading to slower bikes being widely sold, leading to fewer people using them as effective transportation, leading to terrible health outcomes and even death from lack of exercise. They're not just incompetent, they're evil.acem8205-07-2025
