PREVIEWS
ELITE MEN
A new men's champion will be crowned and while it will be tough to match Jack Bobridge's performance of last year.
Simon Gerrans (Victoria) is chasing a third title and can count on strong support from 2013 winner Luke Durbridge (WA), Caleb Ewan (NSW) and Mitchell Docker (Victoria).
BMC pair Rohan Dennis (SA) and Miles Scotson (SA) will also look to animate the race.
The depth of WorldTour stars includes Nathan Haas (ACT), Lachlan Morton (NSW) , Ben O'Connor, Adam Hansen (Queensland), Brendan Canty (Victoria), Will Clarke (Tasmania) and Jay McCarthy (Queensland).
Or can Jai Crawford (Tasmania), Cameron Meyer (WA), Zak Dempster (Victoria), Nathan Earle (Tasmania), Sam Spokes (Victoria), Tim Roe (SA) and Calvin Watson (Victoria) spring a surprise?
ELITE WOMEN
This will be hotly contested with defending champion Amanda Spratt (NSW) looking to claim a record equalling third title, but teammate Gracie Elvin (ACT) can also take a third title.
Both can count on the strong Orica-SCOTT squad including Katrin Garfoot (Queensland), Jessica Allen (WA) and Jennelle Crooks (Queensland).
The 2015 champion Peta Mullens (Victoria) will stand in their way as she hunts a second crown.
The always consistent Tiffany Cromwell (SA) is always a threat with eight top 10 finishes in the past 10 years.
Multiple nationals podium finisher Lauren Kitchen (NSW) will be aiming high, as will 2010 winner Ruth Corset (Queensland).
Do not forget the young guns Georgia Baker (Tasmania) and Emily Roper (Queensland) though.
UNDER-23 WOMEN
This race is shaping up as an interesting battle with young stars Josie Talbot (NSW), Kristina Clonan (Queensland), Jessica Pratt (Queensland) and Nicola Macdonald (NSW) likely to feature.
