The third edition of the Cadel Evans Great Ocean Road Race for women was a spectacular race yesterday in Geelong. Crosswinds, undulations and constant attacks meant the Deakin University sponsored race was dramatic from start to finish.

The race was won by Annemiek van Vleuten (GEW) from Ruth Winder (UHC) and Mayuko Hagiwara (WHT) from a five rider break that formed in the closing kilometres.

Despite efforts from all five riders of CANYON//SRAM Racing, the team was unable to set up a winning situation. In form duo Alexis Ryan and Tiffany Cromwell were unable to match the leaders on the final two climbs of the race. Cromwell finished just behind the chase group, 49 seconds behind the winner.

Most Liveable Place Part 7: Two Years On, But What Has Changed?

August 06, 2021 0 Comments

It feels to us like Liverpool is a city at a crossroads. The worst pedestrian and cyclist road safety track record in the country. Deprived neighbourhoods with chronic health issues and low car ownership. Offered millions of pounds of central government funding for local transport development, the city has elected to remove an important active travel corridor prior to the publication of a review into its effectiveness. The actions of a local councillor, praised by the City Mayor, could lead to a huge reduction in local transport funding that will set the city back years. We look back at the last two years, the impact of Covid, and ask is this the end of the road for a co-ordinated active travel plan for Liverpool?
