We pay tribute to the late Melissa Hoskins, a revered figure in Australian cycling. Melissa, who passed away tragically at 32, was a world champion track cyclist and a two-time Olympian, known for her spirited and tenacious presence both on and off the track. We explore her remarkable journey, from her gold medal victory in the team pursuit at the 2015 World Championships to her courageous performances at the London 2012 and Rio 2016 Olympics, overcoming a significant crash in Rio to compete. Melissa's prowess extended to road racing as well, highlighted by her overall victory at the 2012 Tour of Chongming Island. Join us as we reflect on Melissa's career and the indelible mark she left on those who knew her. In this episode, we also preview the upcoming Road Nationals and Tour Down Under.
