The Cadel Evans Great Ocean Road Race will return after two years of absence due to the COVID-19 pandemic, with the event’s Deakin University Elite Women’s Road Race on Saturday, January 28, forming a part of the Women’s WorldTour for a second time. 

The last time the event ran was in 2020, when Liane Lippert was the victor of a rain-soaked race, taking the win with a solo attack on the finishing circuit in Geelong. Back then, it was the first Women’s WorldTour race of the season, but in 2023 it will be the second as the preceding Santos Women’s Tour Down Under in South Australia has now also stepped up to the top tier.

The 143km course starts and finishes by the waterfront in Geelong, taking riders out of Geelong and past the rolling farmland hills, before heading toward the Surf Coast, Bells Beach and heading back to Geelong via the Great Ocean Road. 

The Geelong loop includes the steep Challambra climb, which has a habit of splitting the field before riders head back toward the waterfront for the final dash to the line. In the five years of racing it has most often been a solo victor, or small bunch sprint to decide the race.
