Ruby Roseman-Gannon (cycling) was selected for her first Commonwealth Games in Birmingham in 2022 off the back of a stellar National Road Championships in Ballarat where she won the criterium through the city’s main streets and finished third in the road race in nearby Buninyong. The BikeExchange-Jayco rider topped it off by finishing second on her WorldTour debut on stage 1 of the Setmana Ciclista Valenciana in Spain, her first race in Europe as a pro.

Ruby grew up around cyclists. Her family lived down the road from the Brunswick Velodrome in Melbourne and from age five her father Andrew took her to the club at the track. There she spent her formative years alongside Commonwealth Games teammate Lucas Plapp and Tokyo Olympian Sarah Gigante.

By her early teens, Ruby showed promise as both a track and road rider. When she was 16, she finished third in the criterium at the under-19 national championships before winning back to back under-23 titles in 2019 and 2020. . She joined the Australian track cycling academy in Adelaide in 2019, halfway through her science degree at the University of Melbourne.

Ruby signalled an outstanding start to the 2024 season when she won the criterium national title for the second time and beat four previous winners to take out her maiden elite road race.
