Gravel and Tar La Femme UCI cyclist 2019.
The Gravel and Tar Classic Union Cycliste International 140km elite men's is Oceania region's hardest single-day road race and it's back for a fifth year.
Pros and first timers in teams of six will ride the 140km course on sealed and gravel back roads of the Manawatū on January 25,
2020.
Last year was the first time women entered the GandT La Femme UCI on a 130km course, and they'll be back next month.
Although a shorter course, the Slicks and Stones 100 is no less strenuous, but is an opportunity for junior, masters, and "weekend warrior" riders to ride 100km on the undulating roads and gravel sectors that the elite riders will race on.
Twenty-five international and national teams will be competing including teams from Japan, Malaysia, Sweden, Guam, Ireland, France and Australia, a New Zealand national team and a new NZ pro-cycling team.
