2019 BAY BIBLE Welcome Message On behalf of the Victorian Government, welcome to the sporting and major events capital of Australia and proud host of the 2019 Bay Cycling Classic. Victoria lives and breathes sport, and no one puts on a show like we do. We’re home to some of the biggest regional events in Australia including the ISPS Handa Vic Open, the Stawell Gift and the AGL Loy Yang Traralgon International. Melbourne and Geelong are famous for their food, wine and nightlife, and over the next three days more than 300 competitors as well as officials, family, friends and supporters will get to experience everything this wonderful region has to offer. These events present a great opportunity to showcase our fantastic regions and that’s why the Victorian Government is proud to be supporting them through the $17.7 million Significant Sporting Events Program and $20 million Regional Events Fund. More than 500 events have been funded through the Significant Sporting Events Program alone and more than half of those events were held in regional Victoria, boosting local jobs and economies. Since 2014, the Victorian Government’s $20 million Regional Events Fund has supported over 180 regional events, enhancing local tourism and improving the liveability of our regions. When you’re not at the cycling, I encourage you to explore the many things our beautiful state and this beautiful region have to offer. I wish all competitors the very best of luck over the next three days and hope everyone enjoys this year’s 2019 Bay Cycling Classic. Hon Martin Pakula MP Minister for Tourism, Sport and Major Events Page 3 – Updated Thursday, December 27, 2018
2019 BAY BIBLE Race Director’s Message John Trevorrow, Race Director I would like to take this opportunity to wish you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year and welcome everyone to the launch of the Lexus of Blackburn Bay Crits. I realise how important the series is to Australian cyclists and it’s fantastic that we have been able to breath new life into the iconic event with a fabulous new sponsor in Lexus of Blackburn. Cycling is a sport that is all about passion and it’s great to be able to welcome a passionate new partner into this amazing sport. I would like to take this opportunity to thank the Ryan family who have been the naming rights partner of the Bay Classic for nearly 20 years and am pleased to announce that, although they have passed the baton on to Lexus of Blackburn, they are staying on as an event partner. First held in 1989, The Bay Crits has been an innovator over the years - taking the race to the people is what it has always been about. Recognised by National and International participants as the fastest criterium series in the world, the Bay Crits has hosted some of the world’s biggest teams such as Spanish powerhouse Once and French team Credit Agricole back when that just didn't happen in Australia. The superstars of Australian cycling cut their teeth in the Bay Crits. Names such as Cadel Evans, Stuart O'Grady, Robbie McEwen, Brad McGee, Baden Cooke and in the women's Kathy Watt, Anna Wilson, Oenone Wood, Rochelle Gilmore and Tracey Gaudry. In the early days, it was Gary Sutton who showed his class and many may not know this, but the Bay Crits was the only race Phil Anderson ever rode in Australia after he turned professional in 1980 until he retired in 1993. It was also the first event to offer equal prizemoney to women. In more recent times we have seen the rise and rise of Caleb Ewan, who first starred as a 17 year old and Brenton Jones who worked on the event as a youngster, before going on to win the series in 2014. The women’s event has blossomed over recent years with some of the best criterium racing seen anywhere in the world on show right here in Victoria. The quality fields have seen top ladies such as Melissa Hoskins, Chloe Hosking, Gracie Elvin and Italian stars Giorgia Bronzini and Valentina Scandolara take exciting victories. Events such as the Bay Crits don’t just happen. It takes a strong team and some quality partners to make a truly great event. The Bay Crits has that in spades. I would like to congratulate the team that has come together to bring the Bay Crits back to the cycling fold and to sincerely thank our commercial partners, local council partners and State Government, most who have been with us for many years, and look forward to working with you all again in the coming series. Kind regards John Trevorrow Race Director Page 4 – Updated Thursday, December 27, 2018
