Rochelle Gilmore (born 14 December 1981) is an Australian former racing cyclist, and former owner and manager of the defunct professional cycling team Wiggle High5. [2] [3] [4] [5] Since retiring from professional cycling she has been involved in sports commentating. [6]
Born in Sutherland, New South Wales, Gilmore competed in track cycling in her teens, before specialising in road racing for more than 10 years. In 2006, she won a stage at the Geelong Women's Tour, took second behind teammate Katherine Bates in the points race at the Commonwealth Games in 2002 and 2006, and earned top five finishes in a Giro d'Italia Femminile stage, the Geelong World Cup, and the Liberty Classic. Gilmore was often referred to in the media as the 'bridesmaid', as she constantly finished runner-up in many events. In the road race at the 2010 Commonwealth Games, she broke the jinx and won the gold medal in the 112-kilometre (70-mile) race. After her retirement she said she felt she achieved her maximum potential during her career through hard work and extensive preparation. [7]
In addition to founding Wiggle-Honda, in January 2015 Gilmore announced the launch of the High5 Dream Team, an Australian women's team competing in Australia's National Road Series aiming to help riders progress to road racing in Europe and to fill a gap created by Cycling Australia suspending its women's development programme due to financial problems.

In a blogpost for cyclingnews.com in November 2015 Gilmore announced that she had retired from competition. [7]
