While the races are expected to attract the cream of Australia’s domestic racing talent, including Attaquer's own Crit Dawgs, we've been working hard with Cycling South Australia to turn this into something more exciting than “just another bike race”.
“Cycling South Australia have been an incredible partner to work with in developing the Hot Laps event,” said Greg Hamer, co-founder of Attaquer. “As cyclists ourselves, we’ve enjoyed some of our most memorable days on the bike exploring the beautiful roads Adelaide has to offer, and we wanted to create an event where fans can witness high level racing with a beer in hand, watching the sun set over the iconic Victoria Park grandstand. Is there anything more romantic than that?”
“We really wanted to add something to the calendar and not just run another generic bike race,” Cycling South Australia CEO Lachie Ambrose told us. “This is an event we see a lot of potential for – something that both riders and spectators will look forward to.”
