The Surf Coast Classics races may have been cancelled given the bushfire in the Otways but organisers will still be delivering races in the run up to the Mapei Cadel Evans Great Ocean Road Race with criteriums to unfold in Geelong on Thursday.
Cadel’s Criterium will be held on a 2km circuit at the Eastern Gardens in Geelong, starting with a 20-lap women's race from 13:00 and then a 25-lap men's race at 14:30. It will be a familiar format for many returning riders from the women's peloton, who raced the Geelong Classic on the same course in 2024.
