The Cadel Evans Great Ocean Road Race is pleased to announce the Andrews Labor Government funding extension to support the delivery of the event until at least 2022.
The Cadel Evans Great Ocean Road Race is an initiative of Visit Victoria, endorsed by the Victorian State Government and a pillar of Australia’s major events calendar.
Former World Champion and 2011 Tour de France winner, Cadel Evans AM, was thrilled with the funding extension which will see the event remain in the Geelong and Surf Coast Region until 2022.
“The Cadel Evans Great Ocean Road Race is an event that allows fans the opportunity to watch the world’s best male and female cyclists compete on one of the world’s best courses, as well as being able to take part themselves.
We are delighted that the Victorian Government continues to support the race, and shares our vision to grow the event into the world’s best modern one-day classic. We look forward to working together to take the event from strength to strength”.
The Cadel Evans Great Ocean Road Race is regarded as one of the leading one-day Classic races outside of Europe and is the opening one-day race of the UCI WorldTour calendar.
The 2019 Cadel Evans Great Ocean Road Race will be held from 24 January – 27 January.
