The NRS Tasman Junior Tour is a four-stage tour from the 4th to the 6th of March 2022.

Race categories will be as per the Cycling New Zealand rules for age groups:

U15 boys and girls

U17 boys and girls

U19 boys and girls

(Note: as per the CNZ Junior Tour rules some over 19 women may be granted entry into the U19 girls category).

​

The four stages are as follow:

1. George Bennett Hill Climb

2. Hope Circuit Kermesse – a flat circuit suited to the sprinters but with the chance of success for a well-timed break.

3. Five Valleys road race – a scenic, undulating course that features a gravel sector, two pave sectors for the U19’s and a power climb to the finish – Nelson’s own ‘Spring Classic’.

4. Upper Moutere Circuit road race – the Queen Stage, a real racers course on excellent country roads that rides a lot more ‘grippy’ than the profile would suggest.

​

Safety Note: For the safety of all riders unless they are an official race/support vehicle, supporters vehicles are not permitted on the race course during racing. Riders are not permitted to receive bottles/food from supporters on the side of the road unless the rider comes to a complete stop to collect the bottle.

​
