Team DSM coach Luke Roberts: “The Cadel Evans Great Ocean Road Race returns to the calendar after a two-year absence, and we are very happy to be back in Geelong for it. A slight change to this year’s edition with the big lap being run in the opposite direction may have an impact on the race if the wind is up on Sunday. The local lap remains on the traditional circuit with the steep climb up Challambra Crescent, a race with an intense final that can go the way of the stronger climbers with a final attack or end in a reduced bunch finish that favours the stronger sprinters, with Marius, Chris and Matt we will have options to challenge for the victory in either scenario.”
