The 2014 Australian Subaru National Road Series (NRS) wi🦹ll showcase 19 events including a new women's event as well as the return of Australia's marquee domestic events, the Tour of Tasmania and the nation’s longest one-day ra𒉰ce, the Melbourne to Warrnambool.

This year there are 11 men's events and eight women's events in the series which will encompass every sta๊te and territory in Austr🌺alia bar the Northern Territory.

All of the debut events from 2013 return including the men's T🍷our de Perth (WA) which opens the calendar, the women's Tour of the King Valley (VIC) along with the Adelaide Tour (SA) and the National Capital Tour (ACT).

Feature men's events such as the Tour of Tasmania (TAS), Tour of the Great South Coast (VIC), and the iconic one day races, theꦗ Melbourne to Warrnambool (VIC) and the Grafton to Inverell (NSW), will all shape the calendar for the coming year and are sure to be decisive in deciding the overall NRS champion.

168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Drapac Professional Cycling wi꧑ll continue to show their support to the NRS following their ascension to Pro-Continental ranks in 2014 which will see them also race in America, Asia and Europe.

As the only Australian team to provide the pathway to the WorldTour ranks in the form of a Pro-Conti licence, Drapac's continued presence in the NRS is a critical, not only for the team's athletes, but☂ also for the domestic calen𝓀dar.

Drapac D🔯irecteur Sportif𓆏 Henk Vogels said that the NRS was an important part of the Drapac season.

"I'm really looking forward to taking ♑the boys out on the road in Australia as part of the NRS," said Vogels.

"The domestic program continues to strengthen and the standard of racing could rightly be considered as the world's best when you look at regional competitions. I hope Drapac continues to stamp our authority on these races as we have over the early part of t👍he 2014 seaꦏson."

In the women's series, the Mersey Valley Tour (TAS) will once again showcase Tasmania's toughest terrain while the dual events, the Tour of the Murray River (VIC) and the Battle on the Border (NSW),✱ return to the calendar while the successful Tour of the Goldfields (VIC) concludes the series.

For the first time, the Amy Gillett Foundation (AGF) will host a🦩n NRS event with Amy's Otway Classic set to give the e𒈔lite women's domestic scene a boost.

Katrin Garfoot's 2013 series propelled her into the Australian women's♏ endurance Jayco-AIS squad and will compete in Europe throughout the season.
