Opening the final Saturday of the UCI Road World Championships, the Women Junior Road Race will be a test of stamina and strategy.
The peloton will take on the Wollongong City Circuit, starting on Marine Drive and heading anti-clockwise throughout the city streets before climbing into the fringe of the escarpment at Mount Pleasant.
As with the Time Trial, the final assault will take place on Squires Way, leading to the coast-front Cliff Road and eventually concluding on Marine Drive.
