Charlotte Hussein and Declan Pritchard have been crowned the 2026 BikeChain J19 National Road Series champions following the conclusion of the three-round series over the weekend.
The national series began at the Tour of the Riverland in South Australia before heading to the Canberra Junior & Women's Tour in the ACT.
The Quest Balmoral Junior & Women's Tour hosted the deciding third and final round.
Balmoral Cycling Club's Megan Moore capitalised on her home-town advantage taking victory in the final round of the women's competition.
However, Hussein's Round 2 victory in Canberra and runner-up finish in Queensland earned the Northern Sydney Cycling Club rider the overall series title.
Queensland's Lachlan Walters produced a dominant ride to win the final men's round on home roads, but it was Geelong Cycling Club's Declan Pritchard who secured the overall crown.
Back-to-back victories in South Australia and Canberra gave Pritchard a commanding lead in the standings, allowing him to seal the series despite not racing the final round.
