Last year's silver medallist, Lucas Plapp (InForm TM Insight Make), went one better to win the under-23 time trial at the Australian Road Championships on Wednesday afternoon, beating St Kilda's Kelland O'Brien by 15 seconds, with Plapp's InForm teammate Carter Turnbull almost a minute back in third.
Mackenzie Edwardson (Team CCS Canberra Men) made the early running with a fine 41:08 over the 28.6km race, and his time held until it was swept decisively aside by the arrival of new Hagens Berman Axeon signing Jarrad Drizners, who won the under-23 criterium title in 2019, and had finished fifth in the time trial, but was starting mid-way through the 38 starters this year.
