From humble BEGINNINGS
The Tour of Tasmania has been raced in a variety of formats since 1930. The original Tour of Tasmania was held between 1930-1934, before the race split into two, with the Mercury Tour of Tasmania and the Examiner Tour of the North.
These two races ran together between 1954 and 1963, before the Tour of the North continued on its own until 1991, before it formed its current holding of the Tour of Tasmania in 1996, and officially introduced a women’s edition in 2018.
