Riley Corke

So much has happened since Year 12 student, Riley Corke returned from racing in Europe.

Riley has been selected with twenty-six other riders named to the Australian team to compete at the 2022 UCI Mountain Bike World Championships, in Les Gets, France, from 24-28 August. Riley will be one of just six Junior athletes making their XCO World Championships debut to gain valuable experience and exposure in the sport. Congratulations Riley!! 

It will be an honour for Riley to line up on the start grid in Les Gets wearing the Australian Cycling Team Green and Gold kit.

The current challenge for Riley is to complete his Year 12 studies whilst balancing busy training and racing commitments. Recent recognition by the AIS, and athlete categorisation into the High Performance Network, means Riley is now receiving support from the Victorian Institute of Sport Cycling Program. Riley acknowledges the support of his family, his coach Todd Cuthbert of 'RideCoach', and for the long time support of Rob Sullivan from his local Wangaratta bike shop, Rock and Road Cycles. For more information go to auscycling.org.au. Please click on this GoFundMe fundraiser link https://gofund.me/56f1ac32 if you like to contribute to Riley's World Championships campaign to assist with the costs of travel, transfers, accommodation and meals. Any support will be greatly appreciated.

We look forward to providing you with more updates throughout Riley’s journey.
