    Taken from cyclingnews.com today
    A closed race to foreign riders in 2012, Gerrans said that the decision taken by race organiser John Craven had been vindicated by the standard of racing on show, but did not deny that it helped the chances of GreenEdge.

    "It worked in our favour at GreenEdge because we've got so many Aussies," he admitted. "If foreigners were allowed to race it might have boosted the teams like Sky and Rabobank.

    "I think we've got a worthy enough field to have a world class national championships with just Australians so there's no need for foreigners in the race anymore."

    Does anyone know what the situation used to be, surely allowing foreigners in defeats the whole point of a national champs?
