It is with deep sadness that we mourn the tragic death of Connor Lambert on Wednesday while on a training ride in Belgium.
Our hearts and thoughts are with Connor’s loved ones, the junior riders he has been supporting, and the Western Australian cycling community.

An epic effort from our Aussies in a brutal women’s road race. A great team captain effort from Tiffany Cromwell that turned into a strong individual effort late on. Sarah Gigante finished 40th, just pipping teammate Grace Brown.
