News Shorts - 1 December

**Tour of Brifght 2025 is here …. BiciSport is starting three riders in Dudley Hoskin & Ian Grant (Masters 55+ category) and Craig Pager (Masters C grade).**
**Friday is an optional criterium in the centre of Bright, with the Tour of Bright over the Saturday & Sunday. The stage maps are detailed below.**
Changes in 2025 includes a far better start to stages 1 & 3 (now Railway Ave in central Bright) and a new finish to stage 3 at Mt Buffalo (at the actual Chalet). The key to success is limiting your losses & staying close up Tawonga Gap, then hit repeat in the Saturday afternoon time trial along the Buckland Valley. Sunday its a heavy 30k climb up to Mt Buffalo.

**BiciSport to the Tour of Bright 2025 is proudly sponsored by Codemo Machinery Services in Griffith**

**A new start to Stage 1 in Railway Ave Bright**

**The Mount Buffalo finish is now outside the Chalet**
