Ten SASI/SA based cyclists are set for Glasgow 2026, named amongst the 25-strong Australian cycling team eager to make their mark at the Sir Chris Hoy Velodrome.

In the SA contingent , five medallists from Birmingham 2022 return,  joined by a mix of established names and rising talent, forming a confident and well-rounded team ready to take on the Commonwealth's best.

Birmingham 2022 gold medallist Leigh Hoffman returns, eager to build on that success in Glasgow.

“It’s always an honour to pull on the green and gold, and to be part of a team with so much depth and talent is really exciting. Birmingham was a special experience, and I’m looking forward to building on that in Glasgow and doing my part for the team,” Hoffman said.

Rising talent Tayte Ryna is set to make his Commonwealth Games debut after bursting onto the scene at the Trinbago 2023 Commonwealth Youth Games with multiple gold medals across the sprint events.

“Being selected for my first Commonwealth Games is incredibly special,” Ryan said.

“Competing at the Youth Games in Trinbago was such an amazing experience - the atmosphere, the racing and just being part of the Australian team really lit a fire in me.

“I’ve worked hard to get to this point, so to now wear the green and gold on a stage like Glasgow is something I’ve dreamed about for a long time.”

AusCycling CEO Marne Fechner said the selections reflect the strength and depth of Australian cycling, with a mix of proven performers and exciting newcomers earning their place.

“These teams showcase the continued strength of Australian cycling on the track,” Fechner said.

“We have a fantastic mix of proven champions, returning medallists and exciting debutants, all of whom have earned their place through consistent performance and commitment to excellence.

“I congratulate our team on their selections and look forward to seeing them race at Glasgow.”

The Glasgow 2026 Commonwealth Games will run from 23 July to 2 August. Cycling (Track) and Para Cycling (Track) events will take place at the Sir Chris Hoy Velodrome and Arena from Friday 30 July to Sunday 2 August 2026.
