The Shimano National Crit Series is a series of criterium events to determine the best circuit racers in Australia - and award the male and female national champion.
With events in Tasmania, New South Wales and Victoria, each leg of the Series offers a unique location and course that will need to be mastered to take home the (green and) gold. With some of the richest prizes in racing (both event and Series cash and prizes), as well as the national champion's jersey up for grabs, expect a rising-star-studded field and plenty of hotly contested racing action.
There is something for racers and spectators (including families) alike at these iconic events, with most also featuring grade racing, food, entertainment and more. Note: Series points are only awarded in the male and female elite races.
