The men's road team features 2006 champion Mathew Hayman, alongside Mitchelton-Scott teammates Alexander Edmondson and Cameron Meyer. Mitch Docker, Steele von Hoff and Callum Scotson, who skips the track events, will complete the squad. Meyer will also compete on the track along with fulfilling his road duties.
For national road race champion Edmondson, the race is his first on the road at the Commonwealth Games having won gold and silver medals four years ago on the track in Glasgow.
"I have very fond memories of the 2014 Commonwealth Games from Glasgow, so I am really excited about lining up in the road race in 2018," said Edmondson. "Of course being a home games there's a bit of added pressure, but we are going to have a home crowd cheering us on which is going to be huge."
The women's road team also features six riders with Tiffany Cromwell, Gracie Elvin, Katrin Garfoot, Chloe Hosking, Shannon Malseed, and Sarah Roy all earning selection. Hosking has earned her third straight selection for the Commonwealth Games and will be a key rider for the road race.
"It's a bit of a pinch yourself moment," said Hosking who won bronze at the 2010 Commonwealth Games. "To think I represented Australia at 20 in Delhi and I'm still racing and still getting stronger and still pulling on the green and gold. I never would have dreamt this growing up."
The men's track endurance squad will feature team pursuit world champions Samuel Welsford, Kelland O'Brien, Leigh Howard, Alex Porter and Nicholas Yallouris, individual pursuit world champion Jordan Kerby, and Meyer. The women's track endurance squad includes Ashlee Ankudinoff, Georgia Baker, Amy Cure, Annette Edmondson, Alexandra Manly, and Rebecca Wiasak.

"It's really not that often someone gets to represent their country in a home Commonwealth Games in their career, so for me it's something very special that I'll never forget,” said Cure.

I'm really excited to see what the team can achieve; as one of our three Olympic events, it's great to get another opportunity to race this race in front of big crowds."
