No fewer than 26 new national champions have been crowned in Wagga Wagga on the opening day of the 2025 AusCycling Junior & Masters Road National Championships.
Queensland and New South Wales shared the spoils in the junior categories as 308 riders in total pitted themselves against the clock in the individual time trial.
Warm, sunny skies greeted the competitors as they took on the out-and-back course at Wantabadgery: 10km for the youngest category, 15km for everyone else.

Sydneysiders Jett Stokes (Randwick CC) and Leif Ingwersen (Dulwich Hill BC), both riding on home soil in NSW colours, took the under-15 and under-17 men's titles respectively.
Their maroon rivals across the border swept the junior women's categories, thanks to wins by Siena Goulding (Ipswich CC) and Ava Robbins (Balmoral CC) (pictured above).
In the masters categories, the local club has plenty to celebrate as Jared Thorwesten (Wagga Wagga CC) triumphed.
The fastest woman over the 15km course was Jenny Pettenon (Hawthorn CC), who averaged 42.8km/h to clock in with a time of 21:03.02.
Matthew Sparnon (Norwood CC) was the fastest man of the day, posting 18:13.67 at an average of 49.4km/h.
More to come.
