After taking up cycling in 2015 at the age of 14 after previously taking part in long distance ocean swimming, Adelaide's Maeve Plouffe (born 8/7/1999) claimed a number of medals on both the road and track in the under-17 ranks.

She made her debut in the green and gold for Australia at the 2017 UCI Junior Track Cycling World Championships, finishing in the top six in the team pursuit and Madison. 

In her first year in the elite ranks in 2018, Plouffe was part of South Australia's national championship winning team pursuit squad. 

Hailing from Kalgoorlie, Western Australia, Manly later moved to Adelaide in her youth.

She took up cycling through the South Australian Sports Institute (SASI) talent identification program when she was 14.

A track endurance member of the Australian Cycling Team, since 2015 Manly has also ridden on the road for various iterations of Team BikeExchange-Jayco

Baker was a multiple junior world champion in 2011-2012, and made her elite World Championships debut in 2016, where she finished fifth in the team pursuit and was just one final sprint win away from the podium in the points race.

Those results booked Baker a spot to her first Olympic Games, however a training crash on the eve of the Rio 2016 Games cruelled Australia's chances of a podium finish in Rio. Gallantly, Baker lined up in all three of the team’s rides as the team eventually defeated Italy to claim fifth.
