Lloyd, the 2008 national title holder, submitted his entry late yesterday for the Cycling Australia Road National Championships.

A quiet, injury-riddled 2013 has Lloyd keen to return to Ballarat. As such, his late entry has Lloyd assigned race number 154 with seedings released late yesterday.

Cadel Evans, whose registration on Saturday afternoon created a media frenzy, will wear number three – should he confirm he will ride.

The 2011 Tour de France winner made clear he would make a final decision on the event according to his training preparations and consultation with his team, BMC.

If he rides, it will be Evans’ first appearance at a road nationals since 2005.

ORICA-GreenEDGE’s Luke Durbridge will wear number one as the defending Australian elite men’s road race and time trial champion.

Teammate Cam Meyer will wear number two, usually reserved for the time trial champion but, with Durbridge a dual champion, Meyer earns the honour as defending Australian criterium champion.

Cycling Australia Road National Championships race director Sean Muir said those numbered one to 32 were all professional riders, excepting Lloyd and fellow late entries in 2011 Australian road race champion Jack Bobridge and New South Wales’ Graeme Brown, who will line up as 70 and 71.

Muir said Evans’ registration had not sparked a significant flurry of late additions to the road race field, but the Christmas-New Year period often caused a late influx as riders and teams returned from the holiday break.

"We definitely have a lot of depth in the elite men's road race this year," Muir said.

"We have our biggest field in the under-23 road race and the depth of the amount of pro riders coming here is great.

"More and more, riders and wanting to wear the green-and-gold all year for a win."
