What they say
“It’s a very special day for me. I like this race a lot. We really have a team of fighters that want to win. Everywhere we go it’s always about the preparation to win.”

“I really love the course. That short climb is really spectacular, because it’s short everyone is not afraid to attack. I really want to go back every year.”

“To finish my last race in Australia before heading back to Europe with this win, I’m speechless.”

The Course
Race director Scott Sunderland designed the course in consultation with Cadel Evans keeping the early season timing in mind.
There can be a fast and sometimes windy start to the race along the exposed roadways before technical sections including city circuits, four times over the Challambra Climb and an electric sprint finish.
