Brodie Chapman
Brodie Chapman (cycling) was part of the six-woman Australian team that took part in the road race at the Birmingham Commonwealth Games. All six were in the peloton for the finish and they set up a sprint train for Georgia Baker to win the race.
Brodie grew up in Mount Glorius in Brisbane’s hinterland and her dad got her a BMX bike when she was 12. When she was 14, she took part in the nine-day Goondiwindi to Gold Coast and later worked as a bike courier, apprentice bike mechanic and spent a summer at the mountain bike park at Mount Buller in Victoria’s high country.
She completed a psychology degree at the University of Queensland and in 2013 was selected to play AFL in the Australian University Games but after injuring her ribs opted instead to compete in cycling and finished third in her first road race.
Chapman competed as an unknown in the road race at the Australian championships in 2018 where she finished sixth. Just a few weeks later – while working at the media centre in Adelaide covering the Tour Down Under – she was called by national coach Brad McGee and offered a ride in the Cadel Evans Great Ocean Road Race where she came 15th and the inaugural women’s Herald-Sun Tour, which she won.
Later that year, she signed a pro tour contract with Tibco-SVB and has since progressed to FdJ Nouvelle Aquitaine Futuroscope in 2020 and through to one of the most powerful squads in the peloton, Lidl-Trek, in 2023.
Chapman’s major wins include the Tour of the Gila in the USA (2019), the inaugural Gravel & Tar Classic in New Zealand (2019), Race Torquay in Victoria (2020) and RADL GRVL in 2024 in South Australia, and the Grand Prix de Feminin de Chambery in 2022.
