SERIES FINALE

      

Tour of Tasmania

September 16 - 21, 2010

       


 

WEST COAST START FOR TASSIE TOUR

 

Quaintly-beautiful Strahan, one of Tasmania’s most popular tourist locations, will host the start of the 2010 Caterpillar Underground Mining Tour of Tasmania.

 

In a wonderfully-exciting development for the six-day event, the opening four stages will be raced in the West Coast region, sponsored by Strahan Village and the West Coast Council.

 

The 598km tour will encompass five municipal regions - West Coast, Burnie, Devonport, Central Coast and Meander Valley.

 

The 10-stage tour is loaded with special features and will include a spectacular 4.5km mountain team time trial at the historic mining township of Queenstown, a testing eight-lap road race at the Caterpillar Underground Mining facility in West Mooreville, a Sunday afternoon road race in inner Devonport, the traditional climb up Gunns Plains during the Ulverstone-Penguin stage and the grand finale criterium at Westbury.

The Tour of Tasmania, to be raced from September 16-21, was first held in 2006 in its current format and has fast developed a reputation as a stamping ground for future stars.

 

Triple world track champion Cameron Myer won the Tassie tour in 2007 and Tasmania’s own Richie Porte, a star of this year’s Tour of Italy, triumphed in 2008.
