Last night he notched up 41 points in the 40km (160 lap) race winning three of the 16 intermediate sprints and placing second in a further seven sprints.
West Australian Luke Durbridge, the 2009 junior World Champion in both the road time trial and Madison, had a briliant elite debut to claim the silver medal with 35 points.
Mitchell Mulhern from Queensland finished third after grabbing a 20 point bonus for lapping the field three quarters of the way through the race.
"I knew it was going to be hard from the start and I went into the race with only one team mate, Matt Benson, and he rode his heart out for me," said Bobridge. "It was always going to be hard riding against the other states, particularly with (Michael) Freiberg and Durbridge out there.
"I knew it would be hard to roll them and it could have gone either way with me and Luke, but I managed to get a few more sprint points than him along the way, but he really stuck it out ot the end of the bike race".
"My main goal for this Championships was to ride the IP (individual pursuit) and qualify a good time for myself as I haven't been to any of the World Cups, so I just wanted to come here and show I am capable to riding the IP at Worlds," said Bobridge who still has the scratch race and onium on to contest over the weekend.
"I think in the scratch race and the omnium, if I manage to get a medal there, it will be a lottery, but I will get out there and have another crack and see what I can do."
