Following two years closure due to the coronavirus pandemic, the Cadel Evans Great Ocean Road Race is back for 2023.

The one-day WorldTour races and public rides were shelved in 2021 and 2022, but local backers are stepping up again now that the COVID coast is clear.

“I'm so happy that we are back,” said Cadel Evans, the 2011 Tour de France winner. “The last two years has been challenging for us all but, thanks to the many who have continued to work hard and keep our quest alive, we can welcome old and new riders back."
