The nominations have been endorsed by Cycling Australia's High Performance Management Committee (HPMC). The nominees have qualified for nomination as per the 2008 Australian Olympic Team Nomination Criteria but selection of the Olympic Team will be conducted solely by the Australian Olympic Committee (AOC). Selection may also be contingent on the outcome of any appeals lodged against non-nomination.
