Eight of the nine endurance sprint riders selected for the 2025 UCI Junior Track World Championships have one thing in common — they all honed their talent through the ProVelo Super League. This selection provides another strong endorsement of the league’s growing status as Australia’s premier development pathway for junior cycling talent.

Eight of the nine endurance sprint riders selected for the 2025 UCI Junior Track World Championships have one thing in common — they all honed their talent through the ProVelo Super League. 

This selection provides another strong endorsement of the league’s growing status as Australia’s premier development pathway for junior cycling talent.

Leading the charge is PSL Billigence Men’s U19 category winner, Ollie Jirovec, who will represent Australia in Apeldoorn alongside his ARA Skip Capital teammates Alex Hewes, Toby Jones, Jonas Shelverton, and Sam Washington. Together, they form the backbone of the Men’s Endurance squad set to take on the world from 20–24 August 2025 at the Omnisport Velodrome in the Netherlands.

On the women’s side, Anna Dubier, the current Australian U19 road champion, joins forces with fellow ARA Skip Capital riders Amelie Sanders and Leani van der Berg — all of whom placed in the top 10 in the PSL Billigence U19 Women’s standings. They’ll be joined by Ava Schmidtke of South Coast Cycling Club to complete a formidable women’s endurance sprint team.

This impressive representation underlines the ProVelo Super League’s value in helping to prepare Australia’s next generation of cycling champions. By offering a national-level racing environment with a focus on supporting junior riders, the PSL bridges the gap between domestic competition and elite international racing.

As the league grows, its commitment to nurturing talent, supporting clubs and working alongside teams and coaches remains central. For young athletes with world-class ambitions, the PSL is proving to be the launchpad to international success.
