A year ago at the Australian Road National Championships, Brodie Chapman delivered a start to the 2023 season that left her flying high and looking for more. She was about to head to Europe to race with Lidl-Trek, one of the most powerful squads in the women’s peloton, in the green and gold jersey as Australian national road champion.
Sadly that striking solo victory in Buninyong turned out to be a high point. Chapman was knocked off course and came crashing down to earth before she had even left Australia.
