Gillow will hope to equal the performance of 1992 Olympic road race champion Kathy Watt, who claimed consecutive time trial national championships between 1992 and 1994.

“I think that it would be really special because Kathy was a great cyclist and that would be a real honour for me,” said Gillow.

"The road season is well under way in Australia - they started with the Jayco Bay Classic and National Crit Champs and moved on to the National Road Championships. Below the jump there’ll be results of the Road Race & the ITT and more - including a bit about some of the riders, some fun transfer news, links to rider blogs, photos and as many other Australian updates as I can find - and women’s cycling fans, we’ve ticked another rider off our “Where is she riding?” list, which is superb!"

There was much talk about the strength of the GreenEDGE team in the men’s race but the girls didn’t disappoint heading in with a very, very strong line up.

We really couldn’t be enjoying a better start to the season at GreenEDGE-AIS, and christening this fledgling team beautifully. We’re racing well together, and listening to one another and really backing each other up.

Although Gilmore maintains that her situation could be a lot worse, and seems unconcerned that her rivals are well ahead of her at this point in time with just three spots on the women’s road team available for the London Olympic Games in July.

“I think with the GreenEdge girls that any one of them could make the Olympic team, they’re all very strong,” Gilmore admits. “For me mentally coming here racing against them and being very close to their form it gives me a lot of confidence because I was in hospital having surgery under general anaesthetic when they were in training camp.

“You’ve also got Chloe [Hosking] and Loren Rowney from outside GreenEdge so I think the Olympic selection is very open given we haven’t had the first international race of the season yet. We really need to wait until February to see who’s at world level.”

Competing at the highest of level of anything tends to make people appreciate the little things less. But for me, just finishing the Australian National Road Race on Saturday has left me with a certain sense of accomplishment. Crossing the line dropped, cramping and a few places off last I really did feel like saluting; because after four attempts I’d finally finished.

Held every year on the same notoriously hard course the Aussie nationals are most definitely not taylor made for a sprinter. A ten kilometer circuit with a three kilometer climb ridden ten times translates to 30% of climbing. Combine this with usually soaring temperatures and it goes without saying that the nationals hold a special place in my heart…right next to my hatred for university assignment due dates.
