Alors que la saison de cyclo-cross bat son plein en Europe, les sprinters se retrouvent dans l’hémisphère sud en Australie. Ce sont les critériums de « Mitchelton Bay Cycling Classic » qui ont ouvert le bal depuis vendredi. Une série de 4 critériums d’une durée d’1 heure chacun, à l’image des fameux « Tour Séries » en Angleterre dont les 10 premiers se voient attribuer des points qui définissent le classement général.
Sous une chaleur étouffante (40 °), c’est Caleb Ewan, l’espoir du sprint Australien du team Orica GreenEdge qui a remporté les 2 premières courses et qui possède une avance de 13 points sur le Néo-Zélandais Greg .
Cette nuit, la 3ème épreuve se déroule dans la ville Portarlington pour finir avec la 4ème course dans les rues de Williamstown.
