The chances to gather UCI points on the road and deliver a performance that can help with the task of catching the eye of a professional team are far from plentiful, even in a good year, in the Oceania region but the cycling federation has confirmed they will be even slimmer in 2025.
The Oceania Road Championships are usually held in the early months of the year, after the Australian and New Zealand Championships and the key UCI racing block in Australia, but well before winter hits. However, this year the months kept ticking by and no announcement was made about when they would take place and then the confirmation came through in recent days that there would be no Oceania road titles handed out in 2025.
