NRS guide: What to know about the 2024 Tour de Brisbane

The 2024 AusCycling National Road Series (NRS) returns for its second stop of the year at Tour de Brisbane this Sunday — here's what you need to know ahead of the super early morning start in the heart of Brisbane.

The men’s race traverses Tour de Brisbane’s trademark route of tunnels, motorways and inner-city streets for another year over a 102.2-kilometre course.

Mt Coot-tha is once again the jewel in the crown of the route, with the men’s race heading over Brisbane’s famous inner-city climb twice via the back side.

Beginning at the start/finish line on O’Connell Terrace in Bowen Hills, the race immediately heads west through the Legacy Way tunnel onto the Centenary Motorway out and back loop.

After 29 kilometres, the men’s race makes a left turn onto the steep 800-metre Mt Coot-tha Road ramp that preludes the main Mt Coot-tha climb. The two back side ascents of Mt Coot-tha that follow are sure to be decisive and spark attacks, but only once ( 2021 ) has a move made on Mt Coot-tha led to a race-winning breakaway.

From there, it’s one final loop of the Centenary Motorway section before heading back into the Legacy Way tunnel towards the Brisbane Airport via the picturesque Kingsford Smith Drive in Hamilton.

The final 52 kilometres of the men’s race are flat and fast until they reach the technical run-in to the finish back on O’Connell Terrace.

In its entirety, the final kilometre contains a hairpin left turn onto a sweeping left bend ramp, then sharp right then left corners to exit the motorway, followed by a final tight right turn at 100 metres to go. To summarise — hectic.

Women’s race

The women’s race follows the same route as the men’s race minus Mt Coot-tha.

The 81.3-kilometre course tackles the Centenary Motorway section of the route back-to-back, with the motorway undulations providing the only real test of elevation on the course.

The 2023 edition finished with a bunch sprint and the course favours that occurring again in 2024. The technical run-in to the finish on O’Connell Terrace means the field will be fighting to be at the front of the race into the final corner at 100 metres to go.

It’s been two months since the opening round of the NRS season at Melbourne to Warrnambool where we saw Lucinda Stewart (ARA Skip Capital) and Mark O’Brien emerge victorious.

Both Stewart and O’Brien won’t take to the start line in Brisbane on Sunday, leaving the door wide open for new series leaders before Grafton to Inverell in two weeks .

Team BridgeLane enter any NRS race as marked men. Tour Down Under KOM jersey winner Luke Burns called Brisbane home briefly a few years ago and will know every section of Mt Coot-tha that is ripe for an attack. New phenom Jackson Medway had a debut summer of cycling to remember with BridgeLane and the ARA Australian Cycling Team and finished 10th at Melbourne to Warrnambool. Teammate Zac Marriage was his Cadel Evans Great Ocean Road Race breakaway companion and can never be discounted as a potential race winner in the NRS. Cyclo-crosser Max Hobson will make his BridgeLane NRS debut in his hometown race after spending the Australian summer in Europe racing CX. Hobson rocketed to a surprise prologue win at the 2023 Tour of Tasmania and could be in his element in the technical finale with his punchy power.

CCACHE x Par Küp has a strong line-up in Brisbane and possess the fastest sprinter on paper in Graeme Frislie . Bentley Niquet-Olden cracked his first UCI win from a breakaway sprint finish at the recent Tour de Taiwan and loves to be active early. The same can be said for teammates Max Campbell and Tali Lane Welsh . The addition of the experienced Alastair Christie-Johnston has been invaluable so far this year. He finished fourth at Melbourne to Warrnambool and sits in a prime position to jump into the NRS leader’s jersey.

Criterion BEx Racing and Cycling Development Foundation are both loading up on numbers and will race with a full squad of nine, the only other team to do so is BridgeLane. Of those lists, Mitchell McGovern (Criterion BEx Racing) performed well last year to finish sixth and Brisbane-based Malaysian teammate Ren Bao Tsen won the Young Rider Jersey at the Tour of Thailand just last week. Brendon Green will most likely be Cycling Development Foundation’s best option.

Tandem Co Pro Cycling always brings the heat at their hometown race and snagged a top-10 finish last year via Brent Rees in eighth. The likes of Cameron Wright or Josh Beikoff could be their best on Sunday.

Oli Stenning (Blackshaw Racing) could be a man to watch on Mt Coot-tha, as could the always aggressive legs of Ben Carman (St George Continental), Jack Aitken (Team Royal Bikes) and Angus Miller (Van D'am Racing p/b Butterfields).

Finally, three Saudi Arabian National Team riders visiting Australia on a development trip help form the more than 115-strong NRS men’s start list.

Defending Tour de Brisbane winner Haylee Fuller forms part of an insanely deep Team BridgeLane squad in the women’s race. It will be seriously tough for the rest of the NRS women’s peloton to stave off the fast-finishing threats of Keely Bennett , Matilda Raynolds and Gina Ricardo on this course.

Sophie Edwards looms as the closest rival to BridgeLane, but she will have to do it on her own as the sole ARA Skip Capital rider — not exactly the easiest task. Edwards could also have bigger sights set on defending her Oceania Road Race Championship on Friday in Mount Crosby.

Josie Pepper (Butterfields Racing) scored an impressive second-place finish at the Warrnambool Women’s Cycling Classic and has a big opportunity to jump into the NRS leader’s jersey with a good outing on Sunday.

Young Victorian Belinda Bailey (Team Hydraplay Femme - Empowered by the Mental Wheels Foundation) was in the mix last year, finishing ninth in the bunch sprint.

Hayley Jones (Womens Cycling Development Initiative P/B Balmoral CC) is back racing in the NRS with her new team, one which she co-founded late last year alongside fellow Brisbanite Maddison Taylor. The new venture has motivated Jones to return to racing and she hasn’t taken long to find form locally. Don’t be surprised to see her towards the front as the race reaches its crescendo.

Cycling Development Foundation’s Sophia Sammons found herself in the break during her NRS debut at Warrny, a move that would help her finish fourth. It’s hard to compare Tour de Brisbane’s short 81.3-kilometre race to the 155.7-kilometre women’s Warrny but it’s clear 18-year-old Sammons has some talent.

We’ll also be keeping an eye on several individual riders, including multi-time NRS stage winner Georgia Whitehouse , Western Australian Isla Carr , and Hannah Gianatti , who is one of 12 juniors set to race in Europe this year as part of an AusCycling development opportunity through the ARA Australian Cycling Team.

Sunday is predicted to be a partly cloudy day in Brisbane, with a chance of rain in the morning.

Humidity will be high for the early morning start and temperatures are forecast to range from 18 to 24 degrees Celsius over the race duration.

Only light winds are forecast which means they won’t be a factor on the exposed out and back stretches of the Centenary Motorway.

How to watch

Tour de Brisbane will be live streamed on SBS on Demand .

The men’s race starts at 5:45am, followed by the women’s race at 5:50am.

Tour de Brisbane

The Tour de Brisbane is an urban event hosted in Brisbane, Australia’s third largest city. The ride is the first of its kind in Australia, with a start and finish in the city center (South Bank) featuring 110km of fully closed city roads. With five technical turns, four expressways, three tunnels, two bridges, and one major mountain climb – this is a once in a lifetime opportunity to ride in the Sunshine State of Queensland.

Enhance your Tour de Brisbane experience by taking time to explore the city. Brisbane is geared for the great outdoors with blockbuster events, adventure activities and mouth-watering food. Climb the Story Bridge, cuddle a koala, browse a world-class exhibition, explore craft breweries, cruise or kayak the river or go rock climbing and abseiling with the city as your backdrop.

Make the most of the city’s extensive network of bikeways and shared pathways, with weather that makes cycling a joy all year round. The CityCycle scheme allows you to hire bicycles from stations dotted throughout the city, enabling you to use peddle power to see the sights.

Or join a dedicated cycling tour and discover beautiful bikeways by the river and lush parklands while getting inside information on what makes Brisbane tick. Hit the central business district and take a walking tour that takes in the city’s laneways, fascinating public art and hidden secrets.

Across the river, take a dip in the iconic Streets Beach swimming lagoon, dine at a waterfront restaurant or explore the eye-opening, family-friendly exhibitions and interactive displays in the museums and galleries of the Cultural Precinct – or enjoy a show at the performing arts centre.

Just offshore, cruise across pristine Moreton Bay to discover an island paradise where snorkelling sunken wrecks, sand boarding, surfing, fishing, 4WD-tours, kayaking, wildlife spotting and glamping adventures await. Head inland from Brisbane and discover stunning mountain ranges, World Heritage-listed rainforests, fresh produce and authentic farm experiences.

The Tour de Brisbane is part of the Brisbane Cycling Festival. Find out more at  http://www.visitbrisbane.com.au/   or  https://brisbanecyclingfestival.com/  or  http://www.queensland.com

The Tour de Brisbane Gran Fondo starts in the heart of Brisbane at Gregory Terrace and the Brisbane Showgrounds, and begins with a loop through the city, crossing the Brisbane River.

The first part going south out of the city is totally flat on big major roads before returning to the city where the main difficulty of the day is waiting for you : Mount Coot-tha, a 2km climb at 9% with a top at only 16km before the finish. After the downhill, there are only a few kilometers left. Total elevation is 1250m.

Based in the city centre, there’s easy access to the airport, hotels and all the amenities. There’s no better time to come and join the world for a bike ride down under.

The time trial is held in Mount Walker, one hour southwest of Brisbane on a 17.7km out-and-back loop on a flat and fast straight road with a U-turn halfway.  It also doubles as the Oceania time trial Championships.
