Australia's Premier Junior Tour
The DBR Australia 2011 Junior and Women's Canberra Tour will be held over the period Fri 8 July to Sun 10 July 2011.
Roads closed for racing
The DBR Australia 2011 tour will be raced over roads closed to traffic and with speed limits on the roads reduced to 60 kph for those local people who need access to their homes. Check out the Stage & Results section of the website for courses and timings. Please note that the Saturday U19M road race the course has been extended from that of 2010 and will partly include a rolling road closure monitored by police.
Format
 The DBR Australia Tour is recognised as a Category 1 NRS tour. The Open Women and the U19W will be competing equally for points towards the NRS competition. The 2011 NRS also sees the introduction of team racing.
In 2011 the Open Women and Under 19 Men and Women's categories tour will include a Criterium on Sunday afternoon. The Tour for these categories is a four stage tour but the distance for the Sunday Road Race has been reduced to allow the inclusion of criteriums on the Sunday afternoon.
2011 will again have a flexible race format for the Open Women and Under 19 Men and Women's categories. Riders will be able to choose to enter the Tour and race for GC, KOM and stage honours or enter individual stages and race only in stages of their choice. This option has not been extended to other Junior categories who will still need to enter the Tour and race all stages.
Women's B Grade
Women's B Grade will again be offered in 2011. See the event entry page for further details.
Para Cycling Time Trial
Race organisers also plan to offer the opportunity for Para Cycling athletes to participate in a Time Trial on Saturday morningfollowing the last of the JM17 riders. The Para Cycling Time Trial will be open to any athlete 10 years of age or older and entry will be free. Riders will need to complete a Registration form (available here) and a Day Licence Form (available here) if you do not have a Cycling Australia or International Licence. Registration needs to be completed and returned to the Cycling ACT Office by Tuesday 5 July 2011. Download further information and contact details here.
