Lucinda Stewart sweeps up women’s elite and U23 titles at combined Australian Championships road race

Lucinda Stewart kicked off her career with the Liv AlUla Jayco Continental team in fine style as she swept up the elite and U23 women’s road race titles at the AusCycling Road National Championships in Perth on Sunday.

The 20-year-old emerged victorious from a break of five that clipped away early on, making the most of her powerful sprint to beat Ella Simpson (St Michel – Preference Home – Auber93) on the line of the 109km race.

Local gravel-focused rider Cassia Boglio (Pas Racing) then captured the third spot on a winners’ podium framed by spectacular city and waterside views.
