This is the first you'll see of the imports taking on the locals on a super-fast down hill 100m track and a cycling track that can be more than a bit tricky for visitors.
The 100m track has been realigned to give runners more run off at top speed... so they don't run into the fence!! The unexpected benefit is that from the grandstand, you get a better view of how fast they're actually going and a better idea of who's in front. And they will be very fast on the downhill run. Maybe we can expect some broken records.
The unpredictable bike track brings some home ground advantage and there are a couple of local stars that will be a better than even chance of depriving them of the cash. A newly crowned Hobart World Champion will be one to take full advantage... if her team doesn't whisk her away to an overseas gig. Subscribe for updates.
