Extreme heat has led to the cancellation of the Surf Coast Classic cycling races in Victoria, with organisers prioritizing safety due to forecasted conditions and bushfire risks. Race director Scott Sunderland emphasized the importance of keeping evacuation routes clear and acknowledged the support from emergency services. While the Surf Coast events are canceled, the prestigious Cadel Evans Great Ocean Road races are still set to proceed on the weekend. Organisers will assess the feasibility of hosting an alternative event in collaboration with local authorities.
