Tour de Brisbane inaugural Report<extra>
Sound and Light Entertaiment Track Competition
“Six Day”

Six Day emphasizes entertainment with background music by DJs and the use of lights. Its origins are said to date back to 1878. This truck race, which once included popular Tour de France athletes such as Mark Cavendish and Bradley Wiggins, is especially popular in Europe, where world champions, Olympians, and next-generation stars can be seen running up close with a beer in hand.

A total of seven rounds will be held in the 2018-2019 season, and Brisbane was chosen as the location for the final round. And we are happy to announce that the upcoming 2019-2020 season will also be held in conjunction with the Brisbane Cycling Festival, scheduled for April 3-5, 2020.

April in Brisbane is just in time for autumn, when the temperature averages 20°C (68°F), making it an easy time to ride. There are many events that could not be introduced here, including a criterium where you can attend without reservations and participate and a skills school. Moreover, you can enjoy the Gold Coast within 80 km of the Tour de Brisbane. We hope you will consider participating in the Tour de Brisbane.
