When Sophia Sammons lined up at the Australian Road National Championships in Perth last year, her results certainly signalled that she was enjoying having the national title battle on home territory, with the Praties rider making the most of her home ground advantage.
Sammons walked away with two under-23 podium spots, coming third in the race against the clock before coming second in the under-23 category at the road race after escaping in the early break. She was fifth over the line in the event, where Lucinda Stewart (Liv-AlUla-Jayco) crossed first to claim both the elite and age category titles.
