Still no sign of a report anywhere but Rachel Neylan won the womens race after early crashes and apparently strong winds on the coast.

The mens race is live throughout on Channel 7 here and there's a livestream listed on the website no idea if it geoblocked or not.

Going with Ewan or Porte.
Race will end about 5am Sunday morning (CET).

Is the last climb in the women's race the same last climb/ distance in the men's race?

Apparently a crash 14km in split the pack, but in the men's race there is quite a bit of depth in terms of the riders quality, so hopefully it's not just WT teams dominating.

Apparently Jack Bauer just had a name change. at least according to the start list here on the site:

61 Hans Jacob Bauer (NZl)

Haussler for the win. Ewan will podium.

I like Cadel. He's one of the riders that has never annoyed me (unlike Kittel, mr. Holy). Cadel seems like a good guy.

Good for melbourne or victoria if you will to get itself a bike race.

just looking at odds Moser might have a better chance than they suggest

Sadly can't get down to watch this, especially when the Victorian transport authorities have decided to do renovations to the tracks from Melbourne to Geelong today.

Is the last climb in the women's race the same last climb/ distance in the men's race?

Yes, the women finished with the second half of the circuit, that the men rider 3 full laps of, so they will climb that last climb 4 times.


Oops just noticed the first post had the same url twice rather than the second one being to the event twitter.

It's pour rain, Laurent Didier off the front with a Chartermason, Androni and an African Wildlife Safaris rider. The Aussie conti's trying to get guys in the break

Is the livestream (http://cadelevansgreatoceanroadrace.com.au/live/) supposed to be working now? I just get a black box where the stream should be.

Ah, of course--they claim on their website that "you can also watch the race wherever you are using your mobile device or computer on our live stream page" but I guess that means only in Australia.

Unfortunately, cyclingfans has nothing that I can see.

Hmmm...recently the Hola add-on hasn't been working for me. It's says "not available right now but we are working on it..." What internet browser are you using?

Cannondale splitting the field big time in the cross winds

 

[diggercuz]

The race is on!

 

[auscyclefan94]

Group of 30 going away now is splintering again.

 

[diggercuz]

Was just thinking this race was kinda dull so far...

Certainly anything but dull now...

 

[auscyclefan94]

Cannondale now realise they don't have the strength to push it along.

 

[Jancouver]

Crash, crash and another crash .... ouch

 

[auscyclefan94]

Porte has been dropped I think...Wyss going away

 

[diggercuz]

Crash, crash and another crash .... ouch

Indeed, conditions are treacherous at the moment..

Let's hope this Aussie race meets your expectations of what racing should be. . We all know your views on the tdu! Anyway good to see your watching!

In my view ever since cannondale/garmin smashed it it has been a cracker!

 

[auscyclefan94]

Excellent race so far...six man teams make it harder to control
