Tutto pronto per la Cadel Evans Great Ocean Road Race, la seconda corsa del calendario WorldTour. La corsa australiana è giunta alla terza edizione e sarà molto ambita dai corridori locali. Il percorso 2018 della gara dedicata al grande corridore del passato, Cadel Evans, presenta 164 chilometri molto mossi con ondulazioni verso la parte centrale della corsa. Il finale è adatto agli sprinter puri o ad un drappello con pochi corridori. Questa gara precede il Sun Tour che si terrò la settimana successiva. Il vincitore dell’ultima edizione della Cadel Evans Great Ocean Road Race è Nikias Arndt. Occhi puntati su Elia Viviani della Quick Step Floors, su Bennett della Bora Hansgrohe: i due potrebbero essere i vincitori della corsa australiana.
