ROUND 1 -- DETAILS
RACE 1 - Wednesday 15 September 2021
24 km Crit - 12 laps on the Bell Lap Course in Crit City World.
Although this is described as a flat fast Criterium stage, it had few small climbs all together totalling 8m each lap.
Given its 12laps around 100m in the 24km, but it is intense so you will be looking for a fast aero bike setup

Performing well in A Grade was Kirsten Howard, Mark Windsor and Craig Hutton, with Kirsten top 10 in the female race, while Windsor and Hutton also in the series points in the Male event.
B Grade was a huge field with Craig McAlister the leading Bathurst club rider only a hand full of seconds in front of teammates Jack Cannon and Cameron Arnold; just behind them Jack Reen and Luke Gillmer.
The female riders again lead the way in C Grade with both Laura Renshaw and Alex B expected to be named in the top 10 on corrected times. Cadel was the first of the boys, finishing in the top 20 with father Rod was in the top 40 and Peter Wilson and Gary Hamer also riding very well finishing the 23kms in around 35mins.
Steve Bennett made a grand start to his esports cycling events finishing 4th in D Grade with Western NSW D Grade champ Gary Baker in the top 20 and new starter Steve Cox in the top 30 in an impressive debut.
