Jackson Medway Crowned Australian U23 National Champion

It’s a winning start of the season for Tudor Pro Cycling Team, as Jackson Medway claimed the Australian U23 National Road Race title in Perth - securing the first road race victory of his career and the first of the season for the Team.

The 135km race, contested over ten laps of a demanding 13.6km circuit, came to life in the final hour. Medway made his move inside the last 30 kilometres, bridging across to a chasing group before establishing himself in a select leading trio. With 8km remaining, the 21-year-old launched a decisive solo attack, committing to a sustained time-trial effort - his favourite discipline - all the way to the finish.

Jackson crossed the line just over three hours, finishing one minute ahead of his former breakaway companions.

Visibly emotional at the finish line, Jackson showed his excitement for the upcoming European season: “I’m pretty bloody excited. I'd been taking it steady with my coach and my Team after a rocky season in 2025, so I can't believe where I am at already. The first time I was actually patient in a race and this paid off.”

The win marks Jackson’s first career road race success, adding to his palmarès after claiming both the Australian and Oceania Continental titles in the time trial in 2024. He will now proudly wear the green and gold national champion’s jersey - alongside the Tudor shield - throughout the next 12 months as he heads into the European season with Tudor Pro Cycling Team.
