An incredible finish to @brenton_jones career and day 3 of the Bay Crits! It’s stories like this that make cycling so good. One for the history books! @theheraldsun @heraldsunsport @mattforrest29 @Citroen #CITROENBayCrits
Organizers said on Thursday that the 2023 edition of the Bay Crits, last won by Brenton Jones and Ruby Roseman-Gannon, was the end of the road for a race that started in 1989 and has the likes of Robbie McEwen, Kathy Watts, Caleb Ewan and Chloe Hosking on the winners list.
"It is with a heavy heart we are announcing the famous ‘Bay Crits’ have taken their last pedal stroke, with event organisers making the tough call that the much-loved event will not be continuing into 2024," event organisers John Trevorrow and Karin Jones said in a statement.
"For the best part of 30 years, and despite some very trying times, we have collectively found a way to make this wonderful event happen, an event cherished by riders, fans, and stakeholders alike and one that has enjoyed a significant place in the Australian cycling calendar."
The Bay Crits have for many years served as unofficial cycling season opener, especially in Australia, where pros and elite riders alike had an opportunity to face eachother in a fast-paced action in front of their home crowds. As is the case in the USA and UK, the discipline had quite a lot of popularity.

maria2024202422-11-2024 - It happens all to often. My crashes over time have yielded a broken neck, broken back, broken left leg, crush pelvis, three broken collarbones, broken right arm and I've even lost a rib.
