Herald Sun Tour 2018
Postby dmwill » Mon Dec 04, 2017 6:10 pm
A few websites (GTR Events and Velowire) indicate it's on from 31st Jan - 4th Feb, but there doesn't appear to be anything official.
Event website still has 2017 stuff and the official Facebook page is outdated.

Here's a bit more info:

Route uses roads which often form part of the Tour of Gippsland, which this year was relegated to a crit series.

Just heard today that Mobius are getting an invite.Alex Simmons/RST wrote:.. I'll be there in my usual commissaire driver capacity...
Unfortunately with the dates being as they are I am unlikely to be able to get time off work to go which is a massive bummer

Yep. Been told the same thing. Bit of a shame because it was so good for tv, which the final stage was the only one getting good coverage.fat and old wrote:Since the chairlift was opened I don’t think we’ll see another stage (AT) Arthur’s Seat

Thinking back to last year, I know that at Tour of Tassie when I spoke with John Trevorrow the final route for the JHST hadn't been settled at that time, mainly due to the Arthur's Seat issues but he said they had an alternative ready to go. But it was quite a while before the route was actually made public.
Last year I was driving Chief Comm so got a pretty good look at the racing, with Froome & Co up close and personal.
