Change is in the air at Cycling Australia’s High Performance Unit, nestled in a leafy suburb near the Adelaide hills. Australia’s track cyclists went to Rio de Janeiro in 2016 with the Australian Olympic Committee expecting at least three gold medals. Australia’s male and female team pursuit squads are also both gold medal chances on the Gold Coast, notwithstanding fierce competition from New Zealand, Canada and England. Australian cycling has an impressive history at the Commonwealth Games. Not since Auckland 1990 has the Australian team failed to top the combined track and road medal tally.
