Cadel Evans Great Ocean Road Race 2016

The second edition of the Cadel Evans Great Ocean Road Race will take place on the same course as 2015 with Cadel Evans and race organisers hoping to replicate the aggressive and attacking racing that was on show in Geelong last February. The upgrading of the race from 1.1 to 1.HC allows for further WorldTour team participation with nine teams confirmed for the race including BMC Racing Team, Orica-GreenEdge and Team Sky.

Mark Cavendish starts his 2016 road season at the race with Data Dimension while Rohan Dennis and Simon Gerrans will both be racing come January 31 with further riders to be confirmed over the next month along with the list of Continental teams.
