A theme of the first championship of 2018 is ‘Hat Tricks’: three wins in a row for Caleb Ewan (criterium), Callum Scotson (U23 TT), Rohan Dennis (elite TT) and Katrin Garfoot (elite TT).
Here is another instalment of a ‘Nationals Gallery’ series by Jean-Pierre Ronco, presented by Cervélo.

She’s no longer part of the GreenEdge family but her legacy with Australian cycling is growing with each championships Katrin Garfoot contests. The QAS rider claimed her third successive TT title at the nationals this week. She isn’t necessarily outspoken but she doesn’t mind telling it how it is.
To beat her, you need to be very good!
“There was a lot of pressure,” she said about the time trial, “even though I know I should be in the ball-park because if someone was better than me, then they can be world champion. So it is rather unlikely, but there is always a possibility, always a doubt.”
The 36-year-old was a dual medallist at the worlds in Norway last year: third in the time trial, second in the road race.
She is a consistent performer and is now in contention for the double double – first in both the TT and road race, for a second year in a row.
