Chloe Hosking (born October 1, 1990 in Bendigo ) is an Australian cyclist .

Athletic career

Even as a junior, Chloe Hosking was able to record numerous successes: For example, she won gold in the 2007 Oceanic Cycling Championships in Invercargill both in the points race and in the team sprint (with Annette Edmondson ) on the track , and in 2008 she was Australian junior champion in scratch .

Hosking turned pro in 2009 and won the Tour of Chongming Island and the Kempen Omloop in the same year . In 2011 she and her teammates from HTC Highroad won three team time trials , at the International Tour of Thuringia for women , the Trophée d'Or Féminin and the Giro della Toscana Femminile . In 2016 she won the Tour of Chongming Island .

In September 2017, Chloe Hosking successfully appealed against the decision of the Australian cycling association Cycling Australia , which had not called her for the road world championships in Bergen : The association had only nominated five riders, although it had seven starting places available. The association had fully exhausted the contingent for men. In response to public pressure, the association revised its decision and sent Hosking and the driver Rachel Neylan to Norway as well. Hosking finished 59th in the road race, her teammate Katrin Garfoot won the silver medal, a success that, in Hosking's opinion, was only possible because the Australian team competed in full strength.

2018 was a successful year for Hosking: She won a stage of the Santos Women's Tour , the Cadel Evans Great Ocean Road Race and the road race of the Commonwealth Games . The following year she won stages of the Santos Women's Tour, the Women's Herald Sun Tour , the Giro della Toscana Femminile and the Madrid Challenge by La Vuelta .
