Luke Plapp and 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Sarah Gigante’s cycling careers have followed a remarkably similar path this year. The two Australian 20-year-old riders, who honed their skills racing and training together as juniors at the Brunswick Cycling Club, both started the year with attention grabbing performances at the 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Santos Festival of Cycling, won the nation’s elite time-trial titles, got picked to go to the 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Tokyo Olympic Games and, 𒉰as some of the most sought after young talent in the world, signed with top Worl🔯dTour teams.

There is one area, however, where their paths diverge. Plapp got to line up at the168澳洲5最新开奖结果: UCI Road World Championships to compete in the 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:U23 men’s time trial this year and, after securing silver, now looks♏ ahead to the dream scenario of competing – and hopefully winning – in the category at his home-nat🌃ion World Championships in Wollongong next year. As things currently stand, Gigante, however, won’t have that opportunity.
