  Bay Cycling Classic forced to cut Portarlington leg in 2010
Bay Cycling Classic forced to cut Portarlington leg in 2010 Quote:
JAYCO Bay Cycling Classic promoter John Trevorrow is furious that national officials have forced him to shorten the length of January's popular street series.
The Portarlington race will be absent when some of the world's best cyclists contest the popular event that celebrates its 21st anniversary next year.
The Classic will only run over four days between January 2-5, will start in Geelong's Eastern Park and finish in Williamstown - the event's traditional opening race.
Trevorrow said the decision by the UCI to move the dates of the Tour Down Under to mid-January meant the national road race championships, being held at Ballarat, had to be moved to early in the month (January 6-10).
That forced Trevorrow to abandon one of his rounds of the Classic, a decision he said he was not happy with and added it was 'Iffy' if the Portarlington race would return in 2011.
