What a beautiful innocent time that was. Oooft. #ausnats #roadnats

Very stupid ride by Luke Plapp, bringing the competition back out of a beaten position. Total disaster. Nice win for Pat Eddy though. #roadnats #couchpeloton

PAT EDDIE I was not expecting that #Couchpeloton #RoadNats #Roadnats26

WU23, Elite ITT #RoadNats 2026
A whole bunch of new U23s. Gold and silver moved up to elite, Perth local Sophia Sammons from last year's podium.

U23 pick Leani van der Berg, Sammons.
Elite, Brodie Chapman is too aero and strong to beat. Maybe SASI got Alli more aero to get on the podium. Baker.

ITT road closure map around Bold Park.

I decided against going to Bold Park for ITT #RoadNats 2026.

The traffic management sucks there. DETOUR PEOPLE AWAY FROM NOT THE FIRST ROAD (single lane), MOVE THEM TO THE ARTERIAL! This shit affects me the bus user on this collector road.

So I will post the provisional start lists. #CouchPeloton
