Huh?
I exaggerated with half mark of course, that's why I put the laughing face. But I still prefer this race with warm weather at the beginning of the year to other races. In Australia they have enough cycling fan base and good cyclists to start building this race for the future. It is not a bad idea. You cannot just compare it with other ones with historic significance. It is just unfair. To me a significance of having a WT race now, besides its historic significance, is the fan base of the country. That is probably one of the biggest reasons why they created the WT in the first place. And of course so that they can make some money in the process. Otherwise why get out of Europe.
