The Newcastle
circuit race is a new event for the Cycle Classic this year and
will be based around the previous criterium circuit.
Staged in the centre
of Newcastle, the race circuit will be expanded a block each way with
the race doubled in length. The cyclists will now race 32 laps of a circuit
featuring Hunter Street Mall, Bolton Street, Scott Street and Hunter Street.
The finish will be
in the same location as the criterium circuit and the field will be under
immense pressure from the very outset.
The race will also
have some excellent vantage spots and will coincide with several other
major attractions in the Newcastle City on the day. The second round of
the Singapore Trishaw Grand Prix will be staged as well.
The circuit will
be well suited to the fast and strong criterium style riders such as Rumsas,
Koerts, Hunt and Van Heeswijk, who have all won in Newcastle.
After the completion
of the race the cyclists will then head to Warners Bay for a criterium
race.
