PARA | Six rainbows highlight weekend in Milton

3/2/2020

0 Comments

 
Picture
Triple rainbows to Emily Petricola, dual rainbows to Amanda Reid and rainbow redemption for Alistair Donohoe highlighted the weekend at the 2020 UCI Para-cycling Track World Championships in Milton, Canada. 

It was a triple Canadian treat for Victoria's Emily Petricola who stunned the Track World Championships by winning three rainbow jerseys in one day. Full recap. 

Amanda Reid defended her 500m time trial title in sensational style by breaking her own world record en route to rainbows. Reid stopped the clock in 39.035secs, half a second ahead of her own world mark (39.505) set at the 2019 World Championships in The Netherlands.

After the race, Reid dedicated her victory to her grandfather who passed away on the morning the team were scheduled to depart Australia. 

“This race was one of the hardest races I’ve had to do, this race was for him,” said Reid, who soared to the world record in his honour.  “My first lap was fast, and I just had to hold on all the way to the end. 

“The world record was just the icing on top of the cake after the last few weeks. 

“I would like to thank my coach Tom (Skulander) and Zsolt, as well as many other people who work hard behind the scene to make this possible for me.” 

Reid then took victory in the scratch race to join Petricola as a multiple rainbow jersey winner at the 2020 Championships. 

Unfortunately, Alistair Donohoe (VIC) was unable to defend his C5 individual pursuit crown after crashing in his qualifying heat after clipping a foam pad. Although only suffering abrasions after sliding on the boards, Donohoe was unable to finish his heat and did not progress to the finals. 

Donohoe found redemption however on the final day of competition when he stormed to the scratch race gold. 

“After the disappointment of the individual pursuit, today I was out for redemption and I think that’s what got me across the line first, I just wanted it that bit more than the rest,” said Donohoe. “It was a brutal race from the start and I had to take two laps on the field just to stay on winning terms, but I really love that aggressive style of racing so it played Into my hands perfectly. 
“Every athlete knows the frustrations of something going wrong In their event or not being able to compete so to end the worlds trip on this note takes the pain away from my wounds and puts a smile back on my face.”
Gordon Allan (NSW) claimed bronze in the C2 1000m time trial, less than two seconds behind France’s Alexandre Leaute (1:11.373) who set a new world mark on his way to winning gold. Allan’s time of 1min 12.789secs also eclipsed the old world record before Leaute leapfrogged him to victory. 

‪David Nicholas (QLD) finished sixth in the C3 scratch race, while in the C2 final Darren Hicks (SA) was ninth and Allan twelfth. Hicks was also seventh overall in the omnium.

The Australian Team has arrived in Canada ahead of the 2020 UCI Para-cycling Track World Championships to be held from 30 January to 2 February. 

The eight riders and staff arrived in chilly Milton at the weekend after a week-long training camp in sunny Los Angeles where they celebrated Australia Day.

Australia enjoyed superb results at the 2019 UCI Para-cycling Track World Championships held last March, with the team finishing second on the medal standings with nine world titles in a glittering 17-medal haul.

The 2020 World Championships is highlighted by reigning world champions Alistair Donohoe (VIC), Paige Greco (SA), Darren Hicks (SA), David Nicholas (QLD), Emily Petricola (VIC) and Amanda Reid (NSW). 2019 World Championships medallists Meg Lemon (SA) and Gordon Allan (NSW) round out the selections. 

As the 2020 Championships provides the final opportunity to acquire qualification points towards the Tokyo 2020 Paralympic Games, Cycling Australia Para-cycling Technical Director Warren McDonald has one eye on rainbows this week and another on the August's Games. 

"We had some great performances in Paralympic events in 2019, and this year we are looking to be very close to that performance but remembering that the benchmark is Tokyo 2020," said Warren McDonald, Para-cycling Technical Director, Cycling Australia. 

"This year we have narrowed the focus with the Paralympic Games in August, and as a result we have one of the smallest teams we have taken away with only eight athletes, but we believe all eight will be on the podium in Paralympic events."
​

Reluctant to highlight one cyclist over another in a team that boasts six reigning world champions, McDonald did suggest fans and media keep an eye on Gordon Allan. 

"Gordon won time trial silver in 2019, but since his main competitor has been reclassified, and after Gordon broke the time trial world record at the Brisbane Track World Cup last December, we could have a new addition to the world champion list if he continues to perform and stays healthy."

The Championships get underway at 9.30am local time on Thursday 30 January (1.30am AEDT -16 hours).

Reigning world champions Alistair Donohoe, Carol Cooke, David Nicholas and Paige Greco swapped their rainbow jerseys for green and gold jerseys after claiming time trial gold on the opening day of the 2020 Federation University Road National Championships in Ballarat on Wednesday.

Carol Cooke claimed a ninth straight time trial national crown in the T2 category, covering two laps of the 8-kilometre course in 38mins 54.87secs. 


“It is such an honour to win this, today was a tough day. It was tough going up the hill the second time,” said Victoria’s Cooke, who praised event organisers for their inclusiveness at the Championships.

Victoria’s Alistair Donohoe shone in his rainbow jersey as he won his third consecutive green and gold jersey in the C5 final, negotiating three laps of the course in 35mins 28.03 seconds. 


“To be in my home state and in front of friends and family, to be in the rainbows. It is a pretty special feeling,” said Donohoe. “I had really good sensations out there today, it was a nice course, a refreshing change to the traditional courses over the past few years.”

The Championships moved to Buninyong on Saturday with Australia’s para-cycling world champions tackling the tough Mt Buninyong road course. 

Sporting the rainbow jersey, Bathurst’s reigning world champion Emilie Miller took gold in the women’s handcycle final. 


“Always an honour to wear the rainbows jerseys and at national championships to be able to come away with a gold medal, I am really pleased with the result,” said Miller, who unfortunately crashed during her ride in Wednesday’s time trial.

QUOTES

Darren Hicks
Just this last weekend, we saw seven world records broken,so  you don’t just win one race and that’s a good year, you need to keep winning. I won three of the four World Cups on the road, two world championships and three national championships, and that’s barely enough. We have such a strong para squad and it’s a pleasure to be a part of it. It’s amazing to get this award.  
 
Paige Greco 
I’ve had a really awesome year, and it means a lot. Every time I look at it reminds me of an awesome year and it’s my first year on the team. I’ve been working really hard, and it’s been really good to see the results. It’s been an amazing year and I still can’t believe where I have been with my teammates!

Alistair Donohoe
This award highlights the fact I had to win three world championships just to get the award. David Nicholas was in there and he didn’t get an award. We’ve got some serious depth so it’s kind of exciting. I am stoked [with where I’m at], it just feels amazing to be back where I think I should be, after some ill health in 2017, I am really building back up in 2019. 

I personally think this award personally means a lot to me tonight. 

Carol Cooke
We have such a strong group of para-cyclists and that many world champions on this team. That being singled out for this [award] is very special, especially at this age and you know I hope that by showing people that it doesn’t matter what number it is that’s attached to your age and that if you love doing something that you can just keep doing it and reap the benefits of it. 
I think that this year has probably been the best year I’ve ever had because I didn’t put the pressure on myself that I had to be on the top step it was about enjoying it, it was about having fun and I probably had the most fun that I’ve ever had in a year of racing. 

Brandon Loupos
I don’t think it could have been better. It was cool. I can’t wait for 2020. I did so much learning in 2019 and it’s all about keeping that consistency in 2020 and to go or the gold in Tokyo. Logan won it (this award) two years in a row and I am stoked to come away with the win this year, it’s definitely an honour and to be the elite BMX cyclist of the year is pretty special. There’s a lot of world champions who don’t get to win this award and I’m blessed to not only win a world championship but to also win this award. 
 
Saya Sakakibara
It was a challenging but fulfilling season. Compared to last year I didn’t produce the results; I had a lot of mental challenges and having six crashes in four months it was definitely really tough to line up on the gate with other riders. But with the worlds I thought my performance was really good, I didn’t get the results I wanted but it adds fuel to the fire and makes me a lot hungrier. I finished off the season with a win at the Olympic test event and is such a great confidence booster. 
 
Amanda Spratt
It’s been a really great year and I am really proud to get this award tonight it caps it off, I think it’s been my best year to date. Maybe I didn’t get the same results on paper as what I got last year but I am really, really proud to finish off with a bronze medal after a great team performance also. It’s amazing, I love coming to this event every year, you get so much motivation out of it. You see the videos of what people have done and hear some stories you maybe didn’t know about some people and it’s just a feeling of motivation and excitement. I always walk out of here, ready to bust into training the next day!
 
Ashlee Ankudinoff
It’s pretty humbling, to be honest. I’ve been in this sport for ten years now and it’s been a long time coming. I’ve had a successful career and now I am getting towards the end so it’s really nice to come here and celebrate the success, not just the success of myself but of others. I definitely think I am in the form of my life. I have a great support network back in Adelaide and the environment there is unbelievable. I have trust in the process in what we’re doing. I go to training every day knowing that I have the support from everyone from the Cycling Australia staff.  Olympic gold is why I am still riding. I definitely would not be riding if I had ticked all my goals off and the Olympic gold is definitely one, and hopefully next August I can do that.


Sam Welsford
It’s been a ripper year. I never thought I’d be able to go dual world champion in one year, so I’m just really over the moon. I love coming to the Awards, it’s such a special night, to see Australia’s best come through to all celebrate the year we’ve had. I get really gee’d up when I see the year’s recap video, it makes you really forget about the Awards itself and makes you realise how special it is to ride for Australia.  
 
(On Tim Decker receiving Coach of the Year Award) Tim holds a special place in my heart he’s been my coach for a long time, starting in 2015 when I first moved to Adelaide, Tim backed me a said “look mate, if you want to be apart of this you’ve got to put the work in” so, I trusted him from then on. Really happy for him to get that award and I know that he holds the award itself very close to him. He strives and works really hard for that I think this is just a testament to what he puts in.

Cycling Australia is pleased to announce the riders selected to the Australian Team to contest the 2020 UCI Para-cycling Track World Championships to be held in Milton, Canada, from 30 January to 2 February 2020. 

The Championships will provide the final opportunity to acquire qualification points towards the Tokyo 2020 Paralympic Games, with the Australian team to vie against 200 of the world’s best from 30 countries.

Australia enjoyed superb results at the 2019 UCI Para-cycling Track World Championships held last March, with the team finishing second on the medal standings with nine world titles in a glittering 17-medal haul.

The team for the 2020 World Championships is highlighted by reigning world champions Alistair Donohoe (VIC), Paige Greco (SA), Darren Hicks (SA), David Nicholas (QLD), Emily Petricola (VIC) and Amanda Reid (NSW). 

World Championships medallists Meg Lemon (SA) and Gordon Allan (NSW) round out the selections.  

“With the Tokyo 2020 Paralympic Games in August, the World Championships in January in Canada will be a great test for the athletes and coaches as we look to build and peak for later in the year,” said Warren McDonald, Para-cycling Technical Director, Cycling Australia. 

“Our ‘What Will It Take To Win’ process has identified gaps that mean we can still improve on our success from 2019.”

Prior to January’s World Championships, Australia’s para-cycling stars will be in action on home soil at the 2019-2020 TISSOT UCI Track Cycling World Cup to be held at Brisbane’s Anna Meares Velodrome from December 13-15.

Australia’s summer of track cycling begins on Friday 1 November when Brisbane’s Anna Meares Velodrome hosts the 2020 Para-cycling Track National Championships.

Australia’s para-cycling stars will be on show including reigning world champions Alistair Donohoe (VIC), Amanda Reid (NSW), Darren Hicks (SA), David Nicholas (QLD), Emily Petricola (VIC) and Paige Greco (SA).

Victoria’s reigning C4 individual pursuit world champion and world record holder Emily Petricola is eager to get back on the track to begin the build towards Tokyo 2020. 

“I really I want to go out and have a solid performance in the pursuit and I’m keen to see how my starts go, as generally, that is my weak spot due to my impairment,” said Petricola, who will line up in the rainbow on Saturday in the individual pursuit, while also contesting three other Championship events. 

“I would really like to do a good 500 (metre time trial). I love the 500 find it really fun, and I am having a crack at the team sprint with Paige (Greco) and Amanda (Reid) which will be fun.”

South Australia’s Darren Hicks will sport his rainbow jersey in the C2 individual pursuit on Saturday, with the world champion looking to new ways to go even faster as he targets a maiden Paralympic selection. 

“It is important to do well at a National Championships, but it will be a bit of a testing event for me as we will be using it to learn a few things about myself and the bike,” said Hicks. “We have changed a few things we are hoping we can utilise further into next year and towards Tokyo.

“My main goal is to come out and do a ride similar to what I have done before, and if we run a reasonable time with different equipment, I will consider it a big success.”

The action begins on Friday afternoon with the Time Trial, followed by the Pursuits and sprint on Saturday morning.  The team sprint and scratch race will conclude the Championships on Sunday morning. 

The Championships provide a key racing opportunity for Australia’s para-cyclists as they continue their charge toward the Tokyo 2020 Paralympic Games.  

Australia’s para-cyclists will also be in action at Brisbane’s Anna Meares Velodrome this December for a UCI Category 1 Para-cycling event which will be held in conjunction with the 2019-2020 TISSOT UCI Track Cycling World Cup.

The Australian Cycling Team is celebrating after finishing on top of the gold medal tally at the 2019 UCI Para Road World Championships in the Netherlands.

Australia won nine gold to finish one ahead of Germany and Italy, while the team’s fifteen medal haul ranked third on the nation’s ranking behind the USA (21) and Germany (19).

The team’s performances were highlighted by dual world titles to Carol Cooke (T2) and Emilie Miller (H1), while Darren Hicks (C2), Emily Petricola (C4), Paige Greco (C3), Alistair Donohoe (C5) and David Nicholas (C3) now boast dual road and track world crowns in 2019. 

Victoria's Cooke claimed her eighth and ninth career world titles as she raced to win the T2 (tricycle) time trial and road races. Read recap. 

Dual 2018 world champion Miller defended her H1 (handcycle) crowns in the time trial and the road race. Read recap. 

Kaitlyn Schurmann (VIC) and Meg Lemon (SA) claimed dual bronze in the C1 and C4 events respectively, while Stuart Jones (NSW) claimed silver in the T2 time trial. 

In a sign of the consistency of the entire team, Stuart Tripp (VIC) H5 and Hannah Macdougall (VIC) C4 finished inside the top five in both of their finals.

It has been a stellar 2019 international season for Australian para-cyclists which began with a 17-medal haul at the 2019 UCI Para-cycling Track World Championships in March which saw them finish second overall.

On the road, the team claimed 29 medals across the three rounds of the 2019 UCI Para-Cycling Road World Cup season. 

“We have had great success at these championships,” said Australian Cycling Team Para-cycling Technical Director Warren McDonald. “Athletes, Coaches and support staff have worked incredibly hard together as a team to produce personal best performances. 

“The year ahead to Tokyo will be challenging in the planning and timing to repeat the success of both our Track and Road World Championships of this year.”

The sun shone on Team Australia on the opening day of the 2019 UCI Para Road World Championships in the Netherlands with five world titles and two bronze medals won in the time trial. 

The Australian national anthem was on repeat in Emmen as Darren Hicks (C2), Emily Petricola (C4), Paige Greco (C3) Alistair Donohoe (C5) and David Nicholas (C3) took to the podium to celebrate. Significantly, the victories also secured dual 2019 track and road world crowns for the quintet after each soared to gold at the 2019 Track World Championships in March, also held in the Netherlands. 

In other day one time trial results, Kaitlyn Schurmann (C1) and Meg Lemon (C4) also celebrated on the podium with bronze in their respective events.

​🏳️‍🌈 Alistair Donohoe 

In a nail-biting final, Alistair Donohoe secured his maiden time trial world title by less than two seconds on the opening day of the 2019 UCI Para Road World Championships in the Netherlands.  

Donohoe averaged 47km/hour across the 32km course to clock 39mins 22:52secs to dash the hopes of Dutch cyclist Daniel Abraham by mere centimetres in the C5 final. 

“I can’t quite believe it just yet, it’s pretty surreal to me. I’ve been chasing the time trial gold for a few years now and to snatch it by 1.7 seconds is just amazing.

“The course was pretty technical, with seven corners a lap for three laps, it was tough to find your rhythm for long periods of time. 

“We had a plan to go out conservatively because the back end of the race was really hurting people all day and I was fortunate enough to keep some gas in the tank for the last 15 kilometres and come home really well.”

The win was the third rainbow jersey of 2019 for Donohoe after the Victorian won two world titles in the C5 individual pursuit and scratch race at the 2019 Track World Championships in Apeldoorn, the Netherlands, in March.

“Must be something in the Dutch water?”

Donohoe will now turn his focus to Saturday’s road race and as defending 

“It’s been a nice few months racing in Europe with ACA and I think it’s been perfect preparation. Going back to back always feels harder, feels like a bit more pressure with that invisible target painted on you, but that’s part of the fun.”

While he has his sights on the road race in twenty-four hours time, Donohoe also has one eye on a second Paralympic Games team. 

“Being a year out from Tokyo, it was a good chance to test some different preparation and training methods coming into the worlds to see what works best and what doesn’t. There is definitely room for improvement in all areas, which fills me with confidence heading forward to next year.”

PARA | Nine gold, 17 medals for Australia at 2019 Para Track WorldS

Australia has finished second on the overall standings behind Great Britain with nine gold and a glittering 17-medal haul at the 2019 UCI Para-cycling Track World Championships in the Netherlands.

The Australian team’s results were highlighted by dual gold to David Nicholas (QLD), Alistair Donohoe (VIC) and outstanding debutant Paige Greco (SA), who broke two world records.

Emily Petricola (VIC) and Amanda Reid (NSW) also celebrated victories and world records, while Darren Hicks (SA) claimed an emotional maiden world title.
Paige Greco, a former athletics stand out who has been cycling for little more than twelve months, dominated the individual pursuit and the time trial on the opening two days of competition.

“I am very happy, two good rides, I still can’t believe it," said Greco, 22. "I’ve only been in the sport for a short time but this has given me the determination to keep training and working on the things I need to improve on.

"I’m already looking forward to getting back into training and keep working at it.”

Victoria's Alistair Donohoe claimed his fifth and sixth career world titles victories in the C5 individual pursuit and scratch race.

"This team is backing each other so much and creating such a positive environment I think it's really bringing the most of all the riders,” said Donohoe, 24. ‘It is one of the most relaxed and constructive teams I've been amongst.”

“Thank you to the Cycling Australia coaches on this trip for putting in the finishing touches and ironing out the wrinkles to allow me to stand on the top step today. The support around me is second to none and it feels as though I've had the easiest job out of them all!"

Like Donohoe, David Nicholas pulled on rainbow jerseys in both the individual pursuit and scratch race.

“It feels so awesome, I can't explain the feeling,” said Nicholas, 27, after claiming a third straight world crown in C3 individual pursuit. “It takes a lot of effort to stay on top, but it is all worth it to get the rainbow jersey!

“Thanks so much to Cycling Australia for all the help and support this year. Thanks to my coach Nick Formosa for everything he has done for me.”

Darren Hicks was in disbelief after claiming his maiden world title in the individual pursuit.

“Right now I think I’m feeling every emotion possible. I am excited and relieved, I can't quite comprehend that I've finally got my first world championship and rainbow jersey... it's crazy!” The World Championship victory capped off a difficult year for Hicks, who in January, had charges against him dropped for a 2014 freeway truck crash that killed two people, the same accident in which he lost his right leg.

“It has been a full on year, it was a long, agonising, very expensive road but it's behind me now, and I can finally focus on my racing.

“I would like to say thanks to everyone that's helped me get to where I am today. I'm very grateful for all the opportunities I have been given and am glad I could bring home the chocolates for the first time on the big stage!”

Melbourne's Emily Petricola took both the world record and world title in the C4 individual pursuit and revealed the meticulous planning undertaken since winning silver at 2018 World Championships after also breaking the world record in qualifying.

"I spent a lot of time over the course of the last twelve months identifying exactly what went wrong last year and what I needed to change so I didn't have the same outcome this year," said Petricola, 38. "I worked hard with both Shane Kelly and Cameron Jennings on controlling my riding in qualifying, as I do tend to get a bit excited on race day. But I did my best to follow the instructions being given to me throughout and, thankfully, we executed two good, fast rides to get the rainbows."

Sydney's Amanda Reid broke the world record in the C2 time trial on her way to winning a third career world title.

"It took a while to sink in, I couldn’t believe the time I had just ridden,” said Reid, 22.  "Now that it has all sunk in, the feeling is unbelievable, a world title is amazing and the world record on top of that is like a dream come true for me.

"I am truly fortunate to be surrounded by an amazing support system and without them, this wouldn’t be possible."

Cycling Australia Para-cycling Technical Director Warren McDonald paid tribute to his predecessor and also the state-based programs for the platform for the successful World Championships.

“I would firstly like to thank Peter Day for building such a strong Para-cycling program,” said McDonald, who assumed the role from Day last September. “We have worked hard with staff and team coaches to provide a fantastic team environment for these Championships.

“The rider’s domestic coaches have delivered their athletes to the national program in fantastic condition and need to be commended on this preparation which has resulted in such a successful World Championships.”

Victoria's Alistair Donohoe claimed a fifth career world title with stirring victory in the C5 individual pursuit at the 2019 UCI Para-cycling Track World Championships in the Netherlands. 

In a near personal best ride (4:27.456) to top the afternoon qualifying session, Donohoe overtook his Ukrainian opponent Yehor Dementyev in the final to take the world title.

"I was a bit nervous and unsure going into today's rides really," said Donohoe. "I knew I was in really good shape from the summer of racing I've had, just wasn't sure how that would translate into times today!

"I knew going in I just had to really control the start and not go out too hot, I'd seen a lot of people earlier on going out really quickly and paying for it in the tail end of their pursuit. Being round seven of nine, I still had three really good riders coming up behind me to I just had to put them out of my mind and try to execute the best ride I could and be happy with that. 

"Happy, surprised, pumped, shocked, that's probably how I was feeling after the qualifying time. I didn't think I had that time in me but the coaches believed in me and I believed in them so it worked!

"Heading into the final, I had the same thoughts again, just go out and ride your ride for the first half of the four kilometres, then worry about racing him. I was lucky enough to put some good time into him early and get the catch so it made for a short and sweet final round.

"Overwhelmed and happy as Larry I am!"

Para | Donohoe solos to rainbows in Italy

6/8/2018

0 Comments

 
The Australian Cycling Team collected twelve medals, including three rainbow jerseys, at the 2018 UCI Para-cycling Road World Championships in Maniago, Italy.

Bathurst’s Emilie Miller (H1 Handcycle) won time trial and road race gold, while Melbourne’s Alistair Donohoe (C5) claimed his third career road world title. 

The Victorian trio of Carol Cooke (T2 - Tricycle) and Hannah Macdougall (C4) won dual silver in the road race and time trial, as did debutant Kaitlyn Schurmann (C1). 

Kyle Bridgwood and Meg Lemon won bronze in the C4 time trial finals, with Darren Hicks claiming bronze in the C2 road race. 
Picture
For Donohoe, 23, a stunning solo victory in the C5 road race gave him his third road rainbow jersey from the last four World Championships.

The 2014 and 2015 road world champion was part of a three-rider breakaway for most of the race before his attack on the pair inside the final few kilometres went unanswered.

“It was super aggressive in the first two laps, then on the last lap I hit the pair before the fast run into town, and from there it was just head down to the finish, and I managed to hold them off,” said Donohoe, who won by twenty seconds.

​“Winning solo is always a rarity especially being someone who prefers the sprints, and my first victory since Rio. After having some health and injury problems last season, it was just so, so, so good to get back on top.


“And in my favourite event, this is a fantastic win. In a typically Australian way, I’m stoked.”

Alistair celebrates his 2015 world title.
The Australian Cycling Team has arrived in Italy ahead of the 2018 UCI Para Road World Championships to be held from 2-5 August.

The team is together for the first time since May’s opening round of the Para Road World Cup in Belgium where the team grabbed 12 medals, including gold to Carol Cooke, Darren Hicks, Stuart Tripp, Meg Lemon and Kyle Bridgwood.  Carol Cooke added to the tally gold and silver at the second round in the Netherlands.

Following the World Cup where he grabbed bronze, dual road world champion Alistair Donohoe opted to spend his final few weeks of preparation in his bedroom. But while it might sound like he was skipping training to catch up on his TV shows, it was all in the name of sport performance.

“For the past three weeks, I’ve had the altitude tent set up in my bedroom,” explained Donohoe, 23, “It’s actually super boring as I had to lock myself in my room for around 14 hours a day (including sleep) and pretend like I was the bubble boy. I became good friends with Netflix!

“I did it not because I’m going to go racing at altitude, but for the physiological benefits of increasing (or trying to) the number of red blood cells in my body.

“The hardest part is the added fatigue effects it has on your body and trying to train at 100% while in the tent can be pretty difficult, you have a few more off days than usual, and your sleep/recovery isn't quite as good, so it's a bit of a balancing act.”

Basically life for the next week and a half before I head to Italy for World Champs is just Altitude, Carrots & hummus ? ⛰ half way through this altitude tent block, I think my vision is getting blurry now ? #bubbleboy #stircrazy

Donohoe’s balancing act has not been confined to the four walls of a hyperbaric chamber, with his season interspersed with Australian team commitments including the Track World Championships, and his debut season with Conti team Mobius BridgeLane.

“The new team Mobius BridgeLane has been awesome so far, a great group of guys and an incredible support network. I'm really enjoying my time with them and every race we enter,” said Donohoe, who raced his debut season in the USA just after winning silver at the UCI Track World Championships in Rio.

“Racing in the USA at the beginning of the year was a great experience too, having raced in Europe and Asia it was nice to get a taste of what the US had to offer, and it was some pretty high-class racing.

“It was tough coming straight off Track World Championships and going into that racing, but it definitely helped my bronze medal performance at the Belgium World Cup in May.”

After a slightly disappointing Pursuit yesterday I managed to end my World Championships here in Rio on a high with a Silver medal in the Scratch Race □□ □ Off to America tomorrow to get ready for the next block of racing w/ the @mobiusbridgelane guys! □‍♂️□

The 2014 and 2015 road world champion is chasing rainbows next week in Italy and will line up in the road race and time trial from August 2.

“Of course, the goal is to bring home some stripes,” he said. “But it is always hard to know how you're feeling without having any preparation races!

“I've been doing a lot of time trial training the past few weeks and should have faith in the numbers I’m seeing and that they indicate I’m moving pretty well.

“The road race is, of course, my bread and butter event, and I would love more than anything to take that one out and stand on the top step, so we'll see how that goes!”

So after weeks in the bubble, and 20+ hours on the plane, what will Donohoe’s first move be when he arrives in team camp?

“My first few days will mostly involve recovering from the jet lag as fast as possible and settling into the new time zone, then will be tapering into the racing.

“I'll also be trying to acclimatise to the hot weather over there, so I will be utilising a sauna for the first few days to do heat acclimatisation sessions.”

Highlighting the four days of competition for the green and gold was a world title defence by David Nicholas (QLD), and a world record and two medals to debutant Emily Petricola (VIC), plus dual silver to the Tandem pairing of Jessica Gallagher and Maddie Janssen. 
 
The Championships also offered the first vital opportunity for nations to grab valuable qualification points towards Tokyo 2020, with the 16-rider Australian team featuring among 200 of the world’s best from 30 countries.  Complete results.

Recap

Reigning Paralympic and world champion David Nicholas (QLD) surged to defend his C3 individual pursuit world title on the opening day, clocking the fastest time during Thursday afternoon’s qualifying (3:36.792). 
 
Nicholas found two extra seconds in the tank in the evening’s final (3:34.804) to comfortably defeat Diederick Schelfhout (BEL) by over four seconds.

"It definitely feels amazing to defend my pursuit title, as it was the objective of the Championships. I am pretty happy with my results but there is always room for improvements so I will reflect when we get home and hopefully be stronger and faster next time," said Nicholas. 
 
On her team debut on Thursday, Emily Petricola (VIC) powered to a time of 41.409secs to win bronze in the C4 women’s 500m time trial. 
 
On Saturday, Petricola eclipsed the existing C4 individual pursuit world record in qualifying by two tenths of a second (3:54.501), before riding to take the silver medal.  Teammate Meg Lemon (SA) won the bronze. 
 
“I have been pleasantly surprised by my performance here, in particular grabbing bronze in the time trial,” said Petricola, who only began cycling a few months ago.
 
“I need to acknowledge the work of Cam Jennings who has moulded me into some resemblance of a track cyclist.
 
“Taking the world record in the individual pursuit was not in the plans, but a great bonus.  My only possible improvement would have been gold in the event.”

Victorians Jessica Gallagher and Maddie Janssen claimed dual silver on the week in the Tandem time trial and sprint, with the pair recording a personal best in the flying 200m.  Both Tandem events were won by multiple Paralympic and world champion Sophie Thornhill (GBR) and Pilot Helen Scott, including world records in both events.
 
Gallagher and Janssen will now head home to represent Australia at the 2018 Commonwealth Games.
 
“We are really happy with our results and our two silver medals,” said Gallagher. “A personal best in our flying 200m and just outside our one kilometre time trial personal gives us great momentum as we head straight into GC2018.
 
“We have a few areas we can improve on & we are incredibly excited to head home and race on home soil.”
 
In all, Australia finished just off the top step in seven events with silver to Amanda Reid (NSW-C2) in the time trial, Kyle Bridgwood (QLD-C4) in the pursuit, and Alistair Donohoe (VIC-C5) and Darren Hicks (SA-C2) in their respective scratch races.
 
The team was also just off the podium in fourth on seven occasions through Darren Hicks (SA-C2), Simone Kennedy (NSW-C3) and Amanda Reid (NSW-C2) in the individual pursuit, and Kennedy and Kyle Bridgwood (QLD-C4) in the time trial.

In the men’s Tandem, Brad Henderson and Pilot Thomas Clarke finished fourth in both the time trial and sprint in their first Championships as a pairing. It took the might of multiple Paralympic and world champion Neil Fachie (GBR) and Pilot Matthew Rothertham to stop the pair’s run in the sprint semi final.
 
In other events, Alistair Donohoe (VIC) finished fifth in the C5 individual pursuit and eighth in the time trial, Lemon sixth in the time trial, and Reid fifth in the scratch race. Darcy Thompson (SA-C1) was eighth in the time trial and sixth in the individual pursuit, with Gordon Allan (NSW-C2) fifth in the time trial.
 
The Tandem pairing of Kieran Murphy and Pilot Lachlan Glasspool (SA) was seventh in the pursuit and in the time trial.

Towards Tokyo 2020: Para Track Team takes first step at Worlds

2018 UCI Para-cycling Track World Championships  | Rio De Janeiro  | 22-25 March 2018
​
The Australian Cycling Team’s journey towards the Tokyo 2020 Paralympic Games begins this Thursday in Rio at the 2018 UCI Para-cyclingTrack World Championships.
 
From March 22-25, the Championships offers the first vital opportunity for nations to grab valuable qualification points towards Tokyo 2020, with the 16-rider Australian team to vie against 200 of the world’s best from 30 countries.
 
It will also be a return to the velodrome for many of our 2016 Paralympic heroes, in particular reigning world champions David Nicholas (QLD) and Amanda Reid (NSW).
 
“I think everyone has travelled quite well over to Rio from Australia, still getting over a bit of jetlag as expected, but everything is looking good so far for some good performances,” said Nicholas, who claimed 2016 Paralympic gold in in the individual pursuit and will be aiming for a strong performance in his world title defence.
 
“Being back here in Rio at the Velodrome where I won gold two years ago feels amazing, first hit out on track was great.
 
“Certainly will try to defend my title, but if I do a great performance that I know I can do, I will be happy and the result will be what it will be.”
 
Dual reigning world champion Reid is eager to get the competition underway after completing a week of training on the track.
 
“Felt great to be back here on these boards again after 2016, spending time getting used to the slightly different shape of the track again before ramping up the training as the week progressed,” added Reid, who announced herself in 2017 with rainbow jerseys in both the time trial and individual pursuit.
 
“I'm feeling really more and more excited about the competition as we get closer to it.
 
“I'm confident about my chances of retaining my world crown in the 500 time trial which is my main goal, and I'm also looking for a personal best in the individual pursuit.”
 
The Championships begin what will be a busy two weeks for 2016 world champions and Paralympic bronze medallists Jessica Gallagher (VIC) and Pilot Madison Janssen (VIC), with the pair also set to represent Australia at the 2018 Commonwealth Games.
 
“Personally, Maddie and I are really excited to race, we have a busy few weeks ahead with the back up straight into the Commonwealth Games, so managing our training loads and taper has been incredibly important,” said Gallagher.  The pair will contest the Tandem time trial and sprint at both the World Championships and the Games.
 
“We are riding fast and with good race conditions anticipated we have high expectations particularly in the sprint. It's safe to say the entire team are all ready to get out there and race!'”

Similarly in the men's Tandem, Brad Henderson (SA) and Thomas Clarke (SA-Pilot) will fine-tune their Games preparation at the Worlds.
 
“This is a really good chance for Tom and I to have some international race experience in a strong field before the Commonwealth Games,” said Henderson. “We are aiming to execute everything we’ve been doing in training, come out with some personal bests and see how we compare amongst the worlds best.”
 
The team also features reigning world champion Simone Kennedy (NSW), plus 2016 Paralympic Games silver medallists Alistair Donohoe (VIC) and Kyle Bridgwood (QLD).
