New Zealand Cycle Classic

The New Zealand Cycle Classic is the only UCI 2.2 event staged in New Zealand.

The Tour is a major international cycle race and generates significant economic impact and media exposure to all sponsors and the towns involved. In its 30 year history the NZ Cycle Classic has developed a rich history. The Tour has grown to become one of the most important races on the Oceania calendar, with riders from all around the world competing then continuing on to join the professional ranks.

In the past few years riders such as Robbie McEwen, (three times winner of the points jersey as well as stages in the Tour de France), Matthew Lloyd, Matthew White, Richie Porte, Jay McCarthy as well as New Zealander’s George Bennet, Jack Bauer, Chris Jenner, Julian Dean, Greg Henderson among others have given New Zealand and the event great credibility and interest globally.
