A festival atmosphere is expected around the Flinders Street start/finish line with music, food, drinks and fast paced elite criterium racing with Men’s and Women’s races of up to one hour each.
On track activity will commence at around 5.30pm, with an anticipated Men’s race finish at around 8.30pm, before attention shifts back to the City of Adelaide Tour Village for a Village closing free concert by a yet to be announced Australian artist.
