Brendan Johnston and Courtney Sherwell took victory at the 2024 AusCycling Gravel National Championships, winning at the Devils Cardigan race in Tasmania on Saturday, both doubling up on national titles after the pair also claimed wins at the Mountain Bike Marathon Championships earlier this year.

It was a first national gravel title for Sherwell, who claimed the green and gold jersey, plus the traditional Devils Cardigan prize of a sack of potatoes and ceremonial wool cardigan, in a tight battle to the line with last year’s victor Justine Barrow. Ella Bloor was just over 12 minutes back in third place while Cassia Boglio was fourth.
