Message from Christchurch Mayor Bob Parker:
“Christchurch is excited to be welcoming this event to our city streets once again and residents will be out in force to cheer on New Zealand’s top road cyclists.

It’s great that Christchurch continues to attract such prestigious events to the city. Hosting events of this calibre allows our young people to see their role models in action – this could be them one day if they put their minds to it.

It’s even better that Christchurch has secured this event for another three years, so let’s get out there and support the athletes. I know I am looking forward to it.”

Bob Parker – Mayor of Christchurch

Message from 2011 Elite Womens Road Champion Catherine Cheatley

“Christchurch once again hosted a top notch cycling event that would rival any worldwide. It encompassed all the things I love about cycling; challenging terrain, quality fields and mostly importantly an electric atmosphere. I wouldn't have made it up Dyers those last few times without all those crazy fans!"

Cath Cheatley 2011 Elite Womens Road Champion & 2010 USA National Racing Calendar Individual winner
