In an incredibly memorable year for each member of the InForm TM Insight MAKE team, it all comes down to the final event: the five-day Tour of Tasmania, kicking off tomorrow morning.

Opening with the lung busting Launceston individual time trial, and closing with Saturday’s Devonport criterium, InForm’s position as the leading team – which includes individual leader Jarrad Drizners – makes for an exciting and challenging week ahead.

With Drizners’ 2020 signing with US based UCI pro continental cycling team Hagens Berman Axeon, it’s an exciting time for the young gun.

“Tasmania will be a good test for the team and I, with everyone looking at us as the leaders of the National Road Series,” Drizners says.

“We have been going from strength to strength as a team throughout the season, and I’m confident we will continue that in Tasmania.”

Here, we share a stage-by-stage preview, all the broadcast details, and how to follow our boys on what is sure to be a memorable tour to finish off an emphatic year of racing.
