Wheel Talk bits about Felicity and Mackenzie, makes me begrudged by Trek throwing money bags at juniors them throwing 1st year seniors into #UCIWWT peloton. 19 Trek riders and I'm supposed to believe Trek can suppose junior development #TDU #RoadNats26 #CouchPeloton

Too many damn people react-posting to Malcolm Street final 1 kilometre, you're doing a disservice to cycle sport's death by a thousand cuts, not Cosmo #HTRWW.
Do at least half the final lap. Durbo was cooked
Ciclismo 🤌 #RoadNats26 #CouchPeloton
🇦🇺 Patrick Eddy e 🇦🇺 Mackenzie Coupland foram as grandes figuras do último dia de Campeonatos Nacionais em 🇦🇺 Perth, na Austrália, ao conquistarem o Título de fundo em elites. Os jovens ciclistas abriram o ano da melhor forma e estrearam-se ambos a vencer como profissionais.
#RoadNats26
Heart is full.
Australian #RoadNats26 has a nice balance between Dutch World Championships, and USA pros getting mobbed by good hobbyists.
HUGE rides. Nicholson all day breakaway, 4TH! First year U23s Schweitzer 10th, Sanders 11th. Dixon, I don't think was part of CSR's plan, 6TH! #CouchPeloton
Patrick Eddy (23 ans) est le nouveau champion d'Australie en battant Luke Plapp ! Pas conservé par Picnic PostNL et désormais dans la conti 🇦🇺 du Team Brennan, il a pris le dessus sur 3 Jayco-AlUla. Plapp a ramené sur Luke Durbridge à 1,5km, qui était sorti à 40km. #RoadNats26
Patrick Eddy 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
#RoadNats26
PAT EDDIE I was not expecting that #Couchpeloton #RoadNats #Roadnats26
Pat Eddy just pulled a Nielsen Powless.
#RoadNats26 #couchpeloton
PhuJayco! Das ist richtig bitter! Brutal hergeschenkt! #RoadNats26
This is chaos. #RoadNats26 #couchpeloton
The bell rings for Turbo Durbo, one lap left and he's out ahead on his own by about 1 min #CouchPeloton #Roadnats #roadnats26
Durbo double? Yes please. #RoadNats26
"Harder than a week-old baguette" Thankyou Watts. #CouchPeloton #RoadNats #RoadNats26
Flat for Turbo Durbo in the break #RoadNats #Couchpeloton #RoadNats26
Party at the Coupland house! #RoadNats26 #Couchpeloton
Yes Mackenzie. Absolutely incredible ride 👏 #RoadNats26
Oh my god Mackenzie. Edge of my seat #RoadNats26
Talbot, Taylor, Nicholson starting lap 4.
Geno Bates with a time board "2 riders with Josie, 1m 20s, blue ring"
The peloton closes the breakaway's gap on the uphill of St George Terrace. Lynch, Appleton, Roseman-Gannon patrolling the front of the peloton.
Lap 4 & 5. #RoadNats26 #CouchPeloton Breakaway gap grows in King's Park, but shrinks during climb towards the finish up St Georges Terrace.
Completion of the first lap, Josie Talbot leads, Emily Dixon patrolling, Sophie Marr behind.
Riding off to the finish line, speed check sign showing 40km/h in green as the peloton passes.
Josie Talbot breaks away solo, here half way through King's Park on the second lap. Katelyn Nicholson and Odette Lynch in the chase in line of sight, ahead of the peloton farther behind.
Peloton, convoy wind up the road at King's Park on lap 2. White TV helicopter hovers across the road.
Lap 1 and 2, WE, WU23 road race #RoadNats26 #CouchPeloton
Wind forecast 13km/h at 11AM, 10 at 1200, 6 for 1300 and 1400, 10km/h at 1500.
Temperature 28°C at 1100, 31 at 1200, 32 to 33 at 1300 to 1500
Transperth rail disruptions for planned maintenance.
Not as windy as expected for the women's elite and U23 road race. Pleasant temperatures compared to last year. #RoadNats26 #CouchPeloton Transperth, railway maintenance for all train lines except Mandurah and Yanchep.
Purple wall at the #RoadNats26 criterium champs, but the strong winds is not in favour of the breakaway of kids like last year. But (spoiler) ARA juniors played the numbers to stay away in the road race.
Women U23 need their own races, so that they can also get TV coverage like the MU23 today.

Elite road race picks for tomorrow. #RoadNats26 #CouchPeloton If Perth is windy AF as it has been for weeks, the breakaway will suffer if they do go the distance. Midday gust just for the extra fuckery.
Talia Appleton! Brodie Chapman, Ruby Roseman-Gannon, Amanda Spratt, Neve Bradbury.
