2014 Herald Sun Tour (2.1)

61st edition: February 5 - February 9

Tour de France: the Inside Story

Herald Sun Tour Podium history | 2015 edition |

Sunday, February 9: Arthurs Seat & Mornington Peninsula, 124 km

Stage cancelled because of extreme heat. According to the organizers: "Simon Clarke has been crowned 2014 Jayco Herald Sun Tour champion, continuing local WorldTour team Orica GreenEDGE’s dominance of the Australian summer of cycling.

"Clarke was awarded the victory as the leader going into the final stage after consultations between Victoria Police and race organisers concluded that today’s final stage at Arthurs Seat could not proceed due to extreme weather conditions.

"Whilst there was no immediate threat on Arthurs Seat, emergency services including police and fire brigade, had been diverted to other areas under threat across the state.

"With results standing as at the conclusion of yesterday’s third stage, former Olympic rower Cameron Wurf (Cannondale Pro Cycling) and the up-and-coming Jack Haig (Avanti Cycling Team) rounded out the podium."
