AusCycling is proud to announce the New South Wales squad of junior road cyclists who will compete at the 2025 AusCycling Junior and Masters Road National Championships next month in Wagga Wagga.
With the launch of the NSW Road Development Academy earlier this year and record participation in the 2025 Northwave NSW/ACT Junior Road Series, the pathway for emerging riders in New South Wales has never been stronger.
Athletes selected for this year’s Nationals have proven themselves through a season of competitive racing, capped off by a tremendous State Championships, where riders delivered impressive results despite adverse conditions on a challenging new course that will be used for Nationals.
Andrew Kidd, NSW Operations Lead, said: “New South Wales cycling is building something special. The depth we’ve seen through the Junior Road Series and Academy program has been outstanding, and our State Championships showcased just how competitive our young riders are.
"Most importantly, our athletes showed they can perform on the very course they’ll face at Nationals. This team brings together experience, talent, and hunger. We’re excited to head to Nationals and represent NSW with pride.”
The NSW squad will be supported by an experienced team including Jared Madsen, Dacchi Dang and Colin Williamson (coaches), with Andrew Kidd (NSW Operations Lead) and Jessica Brown (team manager) overseeing preparations.
