The women’s Mt Mitchell to Inverell covers the same challenging roads along the Gwydir Highway with open, exposed sections of road that have the potential to blow the field apart. The weather looks to be clear, with a mild headwind, potentially neutralising attacks and favouring those with a big sprint.

SBS Women’s League

We have a deep pool of talent taking to the startline on Saturday, some with a clear focus on a final sprint, and others on shaking the race up and coming to the line either solo or in a small group.

The big three sprinters in Sophie Marr (Praties Cycling Team), Keely Bennet (Meridian Blue p/b 99 Bikes) and Odette Lynch (Butterfields Ziptrak Racing) will look to capitalise on the anticipated headwind, no doubt challenged by Nicole Duncan who will be riding as an individual.

Talia Appleton (Praties Cycling Team), Alli Anderson and Katelyn Nicholson (Butterfields Ziptrak Racing), and Kirsty Watts will look to break the race up and reduce the front group before the finish.

It promises to be an exciting weekend of racing, be sure to follow live updates on the ProVelo Super League social media channels, and watch the broadcast on Sunday from 1 - 4pm AEST courtesy of the official broadcast partner SBS.
