Elite Women - 23.3 km

This race is rated on a similar level to the GP des Nations in France, and it is a national series competition for all categories. According to national coach James Victor, Australia were allowed a start in the women's event after an 11th hour plea to the Italian Federation. 13 members of the Australian team contested the event, going up against the likes of Alessandra Capellotto (1997 World Road Champion), Vera Carrara (2000 Olympic Track Endurance Squad Member), Gabriella Pregnalato (current Italian Time Trial champion), and Antonella Belutti (current Olympic Pursuit champion).

However, the Aussies were up to the task, with Kristy Scrymgeour blitzing the 23.3 kilometre, mainly flat course in 31 minutes, 31 seconds. Teammate Sara Carrigan followed 21 seconds behind, with Gabriella Pregnolato taking third, another 32 seconds back.
