Fires, floods etc always make the news. Not sure if it had much to do with the race itself.
The actual news was that the first stage of the TDU was possibly threatened by bush fire.movingtarget said:

That's what i though @roundabout.
Lampre went badly last year so they should try improve, he could ride for Valls as well.
Gotta setup a massive amount of diesel driven air dryers to get rid of the smoke along the road.
Anyway Ewan to take the pre-TDU crit race:
20 laps and we have a winner.

Stage 1 might be safe. News report this morning says the fire threat is abating in Adelaide. But of course with the wind changes it's a day to day decision.

I quite agree with this article,only 2 riders in the team (O'Brien and Ewan) i feel rode well this summer. Haig deserves it because of his NRS win last year and Flakemore is a very interesting rider. De Ploeg could improve a lot with this race (he also focuses on other events than road cycling) but Giacoppo is not that great recently/ has already had chances here and Lindfield (i don't know enough about).
What is also bad is that Ewan will not have rode with the others so much and in my view will be screwed by having a leadout, that he has had little practice with. But there is some firepower there for both the hills and sprints so hopefully they can go well.
I would have liked to see Gillet and Carpenter in this squad

Who missed out..? Dempster, but Pro Conti riders are usually overlooked.

The new circuit is much more free-flowing and faster than the original pre-race circuit. I am not creating a thread for this race because I do not think it is necessary.
