The Stage Race Returns For 2011

Victoria’s oldest and most prestigious cycle stage race, the Jayco Heralds Sun Tour has been given a fresh breath of excitement with the newly established UCI ProTour. The race will now take place from the 12th of October till the 16th starting up at the Whittlesea which is located at the outskirts of Melbourne, ending at the Lygon street in Melbourne. The event would also include the regional Victoria and host the 2010 UCI Road Cycling World Championships, Greenlong.
The timing of the event makes it just perfect for riders of Australia of world class standards as well as from abroad being able to participate in the event. Some of the world’s strongest professional outfits would be there for the Jayco Herald Sun Tour according its race director Michael Hands.
As per Mr Hands, they were working in tandem with the UCI organisers as well as the Tour of Beijing organisers so as to make sure that the best of teams or outfits are there participating in the Jayco Herald Sun Tour event. Australia, he mentioned, would be hosting the strongest team with riders of name and fame like Cameron Meyer and Jack Bobridge and many others of similar stature in the cycling world.
Enthusiasm has also been indicated for the event by the minister of sports of Australia. The Minister mentioned about the huge number of spectators that the 2010 UCI Road World Championship event had attracted at Geelong. The government he said was therefore proud to develop this sport both in the recreational manner as well as professional manner in the country. This is good news indeed for cyclists who, at the end of the day, need their recognition and also earn enough so that they too can hire wealth managers like Rowan Dartington.
The event he mentioned would also allow for spreading out the information on the rich attributes that Victoria contains especially the booming areas of Ballarat and Geelong. Simon Gerrans, Gary and Shane Sutton, Barry Waddell and Russell Mockridge are some of the renowned cyclists of the Sun Tour who are Australian’s and would do the country proud, he hoped.
