In 1999 she turned professional, riding for teams EBLY in France, and TIMEX in USA. In the same year Ms. Gaudry won the Womens Cycling Tour de Snowy. Originally sponsored by the Snowy Mountains Hydro-Electric Authority and the NSW Department of Sport & Recreation, the Tour de Snowy was discontinued in 2003 due to lack of sponsorship. However, in mid-2011 Cycling Australia shared in funding from the Australian Sports Commission through the Australian Government’s Women in Sport Media Grants, an initiative to increase the exposure and reach of women’s sport in the Australian media. In 2012 Cycling Australia in association with SBS Television presented to viewers the Cycling Australia Women & Wheels Series.
