Jack Ward and Sophie Marr were crowned the first winners of Australia’s ProVelo Super League after a six-round competition, securing professional contracts with Jayco-AlUla and Liv-AlUla-Jayco. The final stage involved intense racing, with Ward edging out Zac Marriage to win both the stage and league title. Marr, finishing sixth, clinched the overall and U23 categories, while her teammate Appleton claimed victory in the queen stage and second overall in the Q Tour, highlighting the competitive spirit of the event.
The team ... without them it wouldn't have happened," said Ward in an interview put out on ProVelo Super League social media. "They did so much work today in the latter half and bought the break back so I could go for the stage win - It was pretty special.
Marr took out the overall and U23 league win and season-long 2026 contract with the Liv-AlUla-Jayco Continental team after finishing with a fighting sixth place on the final stage of the Q Tour.
The final battles played out on Sunday's queen stage of the Q Tour, with a 111.7km-long race through the Moreton Bay Hinterlands for the men and a 90.3km-long stage for the women, and a climb to the finish line for both.
After her winning effort Appleton also came second in the general classification of the Q Tour, claiming 80 points for the runner up position and 20 for the stage 4 win.
