Tassie carnivals get UCI Sprint Series

The UCI has sanctioned a series of category 3 cycling events to be held at the Latrobe, Launceston and Devonport Christmas Carnivals. The sanctioned series is the result of months of negotiations between the Sports Carnivals Association of Tasmania and the UCI, with the support of both Cycling Australia and the Australian Institute of Sports Cycling Unit.

"Whilst the Association is delighted with the approval it had applied to conduct category 2 events but has been advised by the UCI that it is policy in the first year to only approve category 3 or 4 events," read a release from SCAT. "An application for category 2 events may be made in following years depending on an assessment of how this year's event is conducted."
