The Tour of Toowoomba, the second event on the men's 2012 Australian National Road Series, may only be in its third edition, but it has quickly built a reputation as a true challenge on the domestic calendar.
Pat Shaw will be chasing his third-straight overall victory in Toowoomba when the five-stage tour begins this Thursday, when he lines up for a Genesys Wealth Advisers squad which will be hoping to capitalise on a strong start to the season in Asia. Shaw didn't race the opening event of the NRS, the Mersey Valley Tour, instead racing the Tour de Taiwan, the Tour of Japan and most recently the Tour de Kumano where he finished sixth overall.
