What we learned from Australia’s 2023 National Road Series

Who were the top riders? Did BridgeLane's dominance ruin the series? Is the NRS in trouble?

Team BridgeLane, the dominant team of the 2023 NRS.

AusCycling’s National Road Series (NRS) is the highest level of road racing in Australia. It’s long been a proving ground for the country’s best up-and-coming riders; a place where those riders can show that they’re capable of making the big step up to the pro ranks.

With the 2023 NRS now complete, let’s take a look back at the series that was, which riders stood out the most, and what we can learn as we move towards a new year.

What did the 2023 NRS look like?

The 2023 NRS was raced over just six rounds, with three one-day races and three stage races. All six races included a men’s and women’s event:

• Melbourne to Warrnambool Classic (one-day)
• Tour de Brisbane (one-day)
• Grafton to Inverell (one-day)
• Tour of Gippsland (four stages)
• Cycle Sunshine Coast (five stages)
• Tour of Tasmania (five stages for men, three for women)

Two more races were originally part of the 2023 calendar but were later cancelled: the Tour of the Tropics and the Battle on the Border.

Who were the top performers in the 2023 NRS?

Here are some of the riders that impressed most throughout the series:

Tristan Saunders (BridgeLane) – The 23-year-old rouleur took a comfortable win in the individual overall standings after a bunch of wins: a three-minute solo victory in the legendary Melbourne to Warrnambool, two stage wins and the overall at the Tour of Gippsland, and a stage win at Cycle Sunshine Coast. Saunders was also third at the Tour de Brisbane.

Declan Trezise (ARA-Skip Capital) – The 21-year-old all-rounder managed just one NRS win for the year – a stage win from the break at Cycle Sunshine Coast – but he managed five other podiums along the way. (He was also impressive on the Asian circuit, taking a couple of wins).

Matt Greenwood (BridgeLane) – Winner of the NRS’s young rider classification, 20-year-old Greenwood made his mark late in the series, at Cycle Sunshine Coast and then at the prestigious Tour of Tasmania where he won the queen stage on the Poatina climb, and the race overall.

Scott McGrory watched the entire NRS closely as producer and commentator for the series’ TV coverage (and as Tour of Tasmania race director). He recalls first getting a sense of Greenwood’s talent on a stage of Cycle Sunshine Coast, where Greenwood rode across a large gap to join the breakaway.

“Matt Greenwood just appeared at the break, he’d just ridden across two minutes,” McGrory says. “And we’re all sort of scratching our heads thinking ‘Where did he come from? Woah, this kid’s pretty good.’ And then as soon as he got there – he actually caught the group on the climb on the circuit and attacked them straight away. I thought ‘Wow, that’s impressive.’ 

“Then he went to Tassie and he won the Poatina stage. ‘Right, OK.’ But he was also pretty handy on the descent. Sometimes you’ll get a rider that can be like a Zwift kind of rider that can just climb and that’s it. But he seems to be able to handle himself in the tricky criteriums and some of the crosswind sections.”

Alistair Christie-Johnston (BridgeLane) – The 25-year-old was a stage winner at the Tour of Gippsland, and a stage winner and overall winner at Cycle Sunshine Coast.

Boris Clark (Cycling Development Foundation) – The 28-year-old Kiwi took four second-place finishes throughout the series and capped off his series with a win from the break on stage 3 of the Tour of Tasmania.

Women’s NRS

Emily Watts (BridgeLane) – Watts won the NRS individual ranking with nearly twice as many points as her closest rival. The 23-year-old managed 10 podium finishes for the season, including the overall win at Tour of Gippsland, plus a time trial win and overall victory at Cycle Sunshine Coast. 

Mackenzie Coupland (Cycling Development Foundation) – At just 18, Coupland proved to be the breakout rider of the women’s NRS this year, highlighted by her big solo win on the Poatina climb at the Tour of Tasmania (where she won overall too).

Scott McGrory says that early in the season it was 46-year-old Ruth Corset who was frequently the strongest climber in the women’s NRS, but that Coupland took up that mantle later in the year.

“She was definitely the best [climber at Tour of Tasmania] and probably would have won Sunny Coast as well, but had her crank fall off in the criterium,” McGrory recalls. “Then she went to Tassie and just blew everyone away. 

“She’s really young. She’s only 18. Often it’s more of a difficult step up for the ladies because there’s no U23 category for them to gauge their performance development but she’s straight up there and doing really well.”

Note that Coupland was also ninth in the U19 women’s road race at the Glasgow World Championships in August.

Lucie Fityus (Cycling Development Foundation) – This season 23-year-old Fityus emerged as one of the most exciting sprinters in the competition, taking a handful of podium finishes including two sprint victories at Cycle Sunshine Coast.

Chloe Moran (ARA-Skip Capital) – One of the top sprinters in the NRS, 25-year-old track and road racer Moran won a stage at both Cycle Sunshine Coast and the Tour of Tasmania.

Katelyn Nicholson (Butterfields Racing) – The 23-year-old was second overall at the Tour of Gippsland, third overall at the Tour of Tasmania and Cycle Sunshine Coast, and winner of the time trial at the Tour of Gippsland.

Did BridgeLane’s dominance ruin the series?

On paper, Team BridgeLane utterly dominated the 2023 NRS. In the men’s series, BridgeLane took out the team’s classification with more than three times as many points as its closest rival, it went 1-2-4 in the individual classification, and it won five of the six races for the year. In the one race it didn’t win – the Tour de Brisbane, won by ARA-Skip Capital’s Brady Gilmore – BridgeLane finished 2-3-4.

On the women’s side it was a similar story. BridgeLane won four of the six events on the calendar, it went 1-3 in the individual classification, and it ended up with more than twice as many points in the teams classification as its closest competitor.

So did BridgeLane dominate as much as these facts suggest? And was that to the series’ detriment? 

“Actually not,” McGrory says. “While they would win most of the tours, and they looked truly very dominant when you look at the overall point standings, they didn’t clean-sweep any of the events. There was some good racing and very competitive racing, it’s just that with the weight of numbers, [and being the] strongest team for sure, especially in the more difficult races …”

McGrory says that the numbers are a little deceptive, especially when it comes to the men’s series. 

“They have a very good climber team,” he says. “So ARA-Skip Capital in the men’s have a faster type of team, so the easier tours, then ARA, were certainly more competitive. You throw in a little bit with the CCACHE x Par Küp guys every now and then, Blackshaw Racing had some good results early in the season also. So while on paper it does certainly look like BridgeLane completely dominated, it was more competitive than that suggests.”

McGrory mentions the men’s Grafton to Inverell as a specific example. BridgeLane had the numbers in the winning break of three riders, with two of the three, and finished first and third, but they didn’t have the strongest rider on the day: Max Campbell (then Tandem Co Pro Cycling, now CCACHE x Par Küp).

“[Campell] was incredible,” McGrory says. “They were just 1-2, 1-2 attacking him, and in the end, he just went on the front for 15 km just to make sure that that [break] was going to be the race. On the last hill, he dropped Rhys Robotham – didn’t attack him, just started riding hard up the hill and Rhys went off the back. And then Zac Marriage just sat on him all the way into town, the last 5 km, and then beat him in the sprint.” 

McGrory explained that it was having numbers like this that helped BridgeLane to win the teams classification.

“When you look at the overall points, because it’s taken on the first three riders … you might have someone that’s really strong as an individual, but his teammates are 10 minutes behind. So the team’s not scoring enough points to look as if they’re competitive up against BridgeLane, because BridgeLane might have had three or four riders in the first 10.” 

Which riders are stepping up in 2024?

The NRS has a long history as one of Australia’s premier pathways to professional road racing. So which riders are making that step up in 2024?

At this stage, just one NRS rider appears to be joining the pro ranks next year. That’s Felicity Wilson-Haffenden (BridgeLane) who has signed with Lidl-Trek on a three-year deal, but that opportunity was the result of her U19 time trial win at the World Championships in Glasgow, not her NRS rides. In fact, Wilson-Haffenden only did two NRS races this year: the Tour de Brisbane (24th) and Grafton to Inverell (16th).

Emily Watts is reportedly set to race overseas in 2024 but it’s not yet clear which team that’s with.

It’s worth noting that while most NRS riders are not professional, a handful of NRS teams do have an overseas racing program. BridgeLane did some racing in Europe, for example, and ARA-Skip Capital took part in many Asian races.

How is the NRS going overall?

For years there have been concerns about the health of Australia’s NRS. There aren’t nearly as many races on the calendar as there once were, the races that still exist are becoming harder and harder to run, and the series has long struggled with media coverage and attention. So is it in bad shape? 

“It’s struggling,” McGrory says. “We can’t sugarcoat it. Each of the organisers have their challenges around putting the events on. It’s becoming really expensive. Whether it’s cost of barriers, cost of workforce – doesn’t matter what it is, everything is going to be more expensive. Cost of police is getting more expensive, and we can’t have road races and rolling road closures without the cooperation and the work of the police.

“So there’s a whole bunch of factors around why it’s become more expensive, but that really is hurting the series. It makes it harder for the organisers to come up with the funds and the infrastructure required to have a safe race at the level that we want it.”

“I don’t know exactly what the solutions are but … it certainly needs some help,” McGrory continues. “It’s not just cash, but cash is going to be a big factor to help it grow somehow. You know, a major sponsor, major partner. In the end, we are talking about individual race organisers. You look at AusCycling as having this National Road Series, but effectively it is like a franchise – individual clubs or promoters that are putting on these events, which collectively become the National Road Series, but they all need help.”

How is the 2024 NRS shaping up?

The last two NRS seasons each contained six races and the same looks to be true in 2024 . After being cancelled this year, the Battle on the Border appears to be gone in 2024 as well, and Cycle Sunshine Coast isn’t happening next year either. The Tour of the Tropics looks set to rejoin the calendar in 2024 though.

Here’s how the full calendar looks (with each event having a men’s and women’s race):

• February 3-4: Melbourne to Warrnambool
• April 14: Tour de Brisbane
• April 27-28: Grafton to Inverell
• August 16-18: Tour of Gippsland
• September 27-29: Tour of the Tropics
• November 13-17: Tour of Tasmania

NRS preview: 2022 Australian Unity Tour de Brisbane

The National Road Series (NRS) makes its way to Queensland for the first time in 2022 for the Australian Unity Tour de Brisbane as part of the Brisbane Cycling Festival presented by King St and the 2022 Oceania Cycling Championships .

A unique one-day race on the NRS schedule due to its city-based route, the Tour de Brisbane has already become a favourite among the NRS pelotons through its first two editions.

An early Queensland sunrise start will greet the NRS and Oceania Road Championships pelotons on Gregory Terrace next to the Brisbane Showgrounds. Riders will roll out in neutral towards the spaghetti junction interchange high above the Clem7 tunnel and Inner City Bypass.

From there the races will quickly reach the Legacy Way tunnel for a surreal cycling experience underneath the city of Brisbane, before the flag drops and the race begins express to the city's western suburbs and Mount Coot-tha.

Coming out of the Legacy Way tunnel riders will continue down the Western Freeway as they did in 2021 to the sprint point on Centenary Bridge, then continue along the Centenary Highway to Sumners Road, before returning on the opposite side of the freeway to take on Coot-tha.

The ascent of Coot-tha has returned to the more gradual frontside approach in 2022, which features a rolling plateau after the main climb before the KOM at the summit adjacent to the ABC transmission tower.

From here, it is a very fast and technical descent down the backside of Coot-tha, continuing along Birdwood Terrace past Toowong Cemetery before reaching the Milton Road flyover.

Following each race’s final descent of Mount Coot-tha, riders will take a technical U-turn back into the Legacy Way tunnel to return to Brisbane CBD. Continuing out of the tunnel, riders will head back up the spaghetti junction interchange via a tight technical U-turn before a fast finish on Gregory Terrace where the race began.

Route specifications per race

Elite and U23 Men

• Distance: 123.5km
• Mount Coot-tha ascents: Three
• Sprints: Three

Elite and U23 Women

• Distance: 89.1km
• Mount Coot-tha ascents: Two
• Sprints: Two
• Distance: 76.1km
• Mount Coot-tha ascents: One

What to expect

With the race returning to frontside ascents of Mount Coot-tha, as it did in the inaugural edition of the race in 2019, we can expect more riders to stick with the main bunches over the climbs.

This is not to say the climb won’t be a deciding factor at all, however, the second and third (men only) ascents of Coot-tha are sure to rattle a few cages.

Past winners of Tour de Brisbane have been riders able to separate themselves from the pack on Coot-tha as Sam Hill and Danielle De Francesco did last year, with De Francesco winning solo by more than a minute.

Notably, out of four NRS finishes at Tour de Brisbane across the men and women, not once has more than two riders come to the line to contest a final sprint.

The twists and turns of the route, bar the Western Freeway out and back section, is the perfect recipe for a working breakaway to stay away until the finish.

We are expecting more riders will fight it out for the win on Gregory Terrace than in previous years, but it won’t be a large group.

Riders to watch

Both NRS leaders and winners of the Melbourne and Colac to Warrnambool respectively in Cameron Scott and Maeve Plouffe (ARA Pro Racing Sunshine Coast) will defend their series leads in Brisbane before departing for Belgium with the ARA Pro Racing Sunshine Coast squad.

The climbs should be no issue for riders as talented as Scott and Plouffe, however, if the out and out climbers among the NRS and New Zealanders decide to go full gas up Coot-tha then it will put pressure on the pair.

Scott will also be able to lean on the climbing prowess of teammate Angus Lyons , who showed his best to win the final stage of the NRS Santos Festival of Cycling atop Willunga Hill, which is similar in duration to Coot-tha.

The Oceania Championships factor means there are plenty of Kiwis in the Sunshine State champing at the bit to steal the show.

Most of the New Zealanders racing on Sunday also raced on the track over the past week and they were flying.

Aaron Gate (Bolton Equities Black Spoke Pro Cycling) is in some serious form if his exploits on the boards are anything to go by, and his two elite teammates in New Zealand road race national champion James Fouche and Thomas Sexton will be just as strong, as will U23 time trial specialist Logan Currie .

New Zealand national team riders Bryony Botha and Ally Wollaston (U23) will equally be just as dangerous.

Botha was just the fourth woman in history to break the 3 minutes and 20 seconds barrier on the track for the 3000m individual pursuit earlier this year and did so again last Saturday with another personal best time, while 21-year-old Wollaston is a supreme talent on the bike and claimed four Oceania titles on the track.

Team BridgeLane’s European racing exodus has already begun, meaning potential leaders such as James Whelan and Nick White won’t be in Brisbane.

The onus instead falls on the shoulders of Drew Morey and Matthew Dinham (U23) for Team BridgeLane, who will be in their element on the climbs.

Team BridgeLane will also be boosted by the hometown knowledge of James Panizza and Rhys Robotham (both U23), with the young climbers knowing every pinch and feature of Coot-tha inside out.

2021 Tour de Brisbane winners De Francesco (ARA Pro Racing Sunshine Coast) and Hill (Nero Continental) will be hoping for repeat success on Sunday but may not be able to pull off the same solo attacks they performed last year due to the deeper start lists.

NRS Tour of Gippsland winners Kane Richards (ARA Pro Racing Sunshine Coast) and Georgie Howe (Knights of Suburbia Racing) will no doubt feature at the front of the race at some point on Sunday, but getting over multiple ascents of Coot-tha among the leading riders will be a tough ask for the two powerhouses.

Darkhorse names to watch in the Elite and U23 men will be Mark O’Brien and Brenton Jones (Inform TMX MAKE) , Ben Carman (Nero Continental) , Team Ukyo Sagamihara duo Ben Dyball and Nathan Earle , Cyrus Monk (Meiyo CCN Pro Cycling) and Josh Burnett (NZ Cycling Project) .

In the Elite and U23 women you can count on a strong InForm TMX MAKE squad comprising the likes of Carlee Taylor and Amber Pate to be launching attacks, as will ARA Pro Racing Sunshine Coast’s Chloe Moran and Anya Louw , Emily Herfoss will be flying the Roxsolt Liv SRAM flag in Brisbane while most of her squad prepares for Europe, NRS veteran Ruth Corset (VA Pro Racing) can never be discounted when a climb is involved, and locals Sophie Malowiecki (Giant Racing Team) and Mia Hayden (The Women’s Racing Project) could surprise their rivals on Coot-tha.

All times are based off gun time – it is essential that if you intend to qualify for Worlds that you start in your correct wave.

Riders who start in the incorrect wave will not be eligible to qualify.
