Cam Scott and Alyssa Polites take on Australia's oldest one-day race – the Melbourne to Warrnambool Cycling Festival

The Melbourne to Warrnambool Cycling Festival will see a strong field of PSL competitors, with a provisional 132 riders contesting the SumUp Men’s League and 65 riders racing in the SBS Women’s League. These elite riders will be joined by individual age-group riders, ensuring two exciting days of racing showcasing the depth of talent in Australian cycling.

Two of the big names lining up for the Powercor Melbourne to Warrnambool Cycling Classic include former WorldTour rider and winner Cam Scott and local hero and last year's winner Mark O’Brien.   The form teams from the Round 1 SA Kick It will be out in full force with CCACHE x BodyWrap and Team Brennan expected to be strong contenders, ensuring an exciting battle.  

In the Lochard Energy Warrnambool Women’s Classic, Praties enter as the team to beat after a dominant performance at SA Kick It. However, keep an eye on Alyssa Polites from Meridian Blue Women’s Cycling Team —fresh off claiming the Queen of the Mountain title at the Santos Tour Down Under, her endurance and climbing strength could pose a serious challenge to Praties' dominance.
