The 25-year-old Perth cyclist has picked up another couple of gold medals in the UCI world cup series.

With team pursuit and madison the two track disciplines awaiting endurance riders at Tokyo next year, Baker is establishing a powerful case for selection to her second successive Olympics.

The only world cup round in Australia is being staged in Brisbane this weekend and Baker teamed up with fellow reigning world champions Ashlee Ankudinoff, Annette Edmondson and Alexandra Manly, plus podium potential academy member Maeve Plouffe, to claim gold in the team pursuit on Friday.

And she doubled up on Saturday evening, teaming up with Rio Olympic teammate Edmondson to win the madison with a total of 56 points, five clear of the second-placed French team with the US a further 19 points further back in third.

The Australians dominated the race and seemed set for a large winning margin until the French won the double-point final sprint.

Just a week after setting an Australian record but being denied gold by the host nation in Cambridge, New Zealand, Australia hit back on home soil in Brisbane.

Little separated the trans-Tasman rivals in qualifying with the Kiwi quartet of Holly Edmondston, Bryony Botha, Michaela Drummond and Racquel Sheath setting the fastest time (4:16.573), just two-tenths ahead of Baker, Ankudinoff, Manly and Plouffe.

With Edmondson replacing Ankudinoff for their first-round match-up against the US, the team booked their place in the gold medal final with a scorching ride of 4:12.889.

Ankudinoff returned for Manly in an enthralling final which saw the Australians stop the clock at 4:13.237 to take the gold medal by three-tenths of a second over the New Zealanders' 4:13.553.

Edmondson said the result was further good news for another Tasmanian Olympian.

"I think we are heading in the right direction, and we have been working pretty hard behind the scenes," she said.

"We wanted to do some fast times here in Brisbane, we have ticked some boxes, and will use it as inspiration to keep the momentum for the Olympics.

"Maeve is only 20 years old and has a lot of power behind her considering she is so young. She has only been in training with us for the last month so to be able to ride three strong rides today and also a couple of rides over in New Zealand last week is promising.

"We also have Amy Cure at home, so we know that we have the numbers here and it is very exciting moving forward."

In Cambridge, Baker had also teamed up with Manly to dominate the women's madison, which returns to the Olympic program next year. The pair sealed victory with the double points final sprint.

Baker and South Australian Edmondson, who celebrated her 28th birthday on Thursday, had also won the 30-kilometre event at the previous world cup in Glasgow.

Baker and Cure won a silver medal in the event at this year's world championships when they were also part of the gold-medal winning team pursuit line-up, results which saw both nominated for the Tasmanian athlete of the year.

In other Tasmanian cycling news, both Richie Porte and Macey Stewart have been named as confirmed starters for January's Tour Down Under.

Porte will return to Adelaide looking to reclaim the famed ochre jersey aided by Trek-Segafredo teammate and reigning world road champion Mads Pedersen.

A six-time winner of the notorious Willunga Hill stage, the Launceston 34-year-old has finished second in the general classification to Mitchelton-Scott's Daryl Impey in the last two editions of the race.

"Richie is a great guy with a competitive history at the Santos Tour Down Under and we expect him to put out impressive performances again next year," said retiring race director Mike Turtur.

Denmark's Pedersen won a rain-soaked world championship in Yorkshire earlier this year and will wear the rainbow jersey in South Australia.

Stewart, 23, of Devonport, will ride for the UniSA-Australia team alongside Rachel Neylan and Josie Talbot (Casa Dorada), Jessica Pratt and Georgie Whitehouse (Sydney Uni Staminade) and Ruby Roseman-Gannon (VIS).

Australia's main World Tour race runs from January 16-26.

Two Tasmanians will play a key role in the end of an era.

After 16 years of racing at all levels in the sport, Drapac Cycling will be lining up for its last race in the Shimano Supercrit on Sunday.

Launceston's Zach Johnson, 19, and Oliver Martin, 23, will be part of the Drapac team in St Kilda. The race is the second of three in the Australian Criterium Championship, the first having been last week's Stan Siejka Launceston Classic.

Many Tasmanians have ridden for Drapac during its existence including Will Clarke, Nathan Earle, Jai Crawford and Bernie and Wes Sulzberger.
