Austrian National Road Race Championships
The Austrian National Road Race Championship is a cycling race where the Austrian cyclists decide who will become the champion for the year to come.
The winners of each event are awarded a symbolic cycling jersey which is red and white, just like the national flag. These colours can be worn by the rider at other time trialling events in the country to show their status as national champion. The champion's stripes can be combined into a sponsored rider's team kit designed for this purpose.
