Tour Down Under and Cadel Evans Race off early season calendar again in 2022
Australia's COVID-19 border restrictions lead to another January of international race cancellations but Victorian event exploring opportunities for later in yearwww.cyclingnews.com
I don't particularly care for either event, but I don't understand the cancellation. January is still a few months away, and most of Australia is at least 60% first dose and 40% double dose now I believe, possibly higher. Anyway, surely by that time, anyone who wants to have been vaccinated could easily have been.
Adelaide (TDU) itself is also not a large city. A small number of covid contacted as a result of overseas introduction could be eradicated quite quickly, I imagine. Melbourne is a different size and story (we now have more than 1,000 cases a day despite 2 months of hard lockdown).
