Laura McCaughey will return from the United States to race at this year's Tasmanian Christmas Carnivals, organisers of the event have announced. McCaughey is the current Australian Women's cycling 10 kilometre scratch race champion.
West Australian Cycling Institute Head Coach Darryl Benson has also advised that he will be bringing a team of up to 20 cyclists to the carnivals. In the past WA cyclists have been very successful at the carnivals and Benson is hoping to continue the tradition at this year's event.
