The2019 Cadel Evans Great Ocean Road Race was aroad cycling one-day race that took place on 27 January 2019 inGeelong, Australia. It was the fifth edition of theCadel Evans Great Ocean Road Race and the second event of the2019 UCI World Tour.[2][3]
2018 runner-upElia Viviani, from Italy, improved upon that position, as theDeceuninck–Quick-Step rider led home a 33-rider group at the finish to take the victory, ahead of the highest-placed Australian riderCaleb Ewan (Lotto–Soudal).[1] The podium was completed by the previous week'sTour Down Under winnerDaryl Impey,[4] who finished third for the second year in succession forMitchelton–Scott.[1]
As the race was only added to theUCI World Tour calendar in 2017, allUCI WorldTeams were invited to the race, but not obligated to compete in the race. As such, fifteen of the eighteen WorldTeams competed in the race,[5] up three on 2018. An Australian national squad completed the 16-team peloton, therefore no UCI Professional Continental teams competed for the first time.
