Leigh Hoffman won his first national keirin title to complete a sprint double at Australia's track cycling championships, while Alessia McCaig claimed her fourth consecutive keirin victory alongside the individual sprint title. The keirin, a derny-led race popularized in Japan where it originated in 1948, has attracted elite international cyclists including Olympic champions Harrie Lavreysen and Matthew Richardson to compete in Japan's professional circuit.
