Defending Jayco Herald Sun Tour champion Simon Gerrans has arrived in Melbourne to finalise his preparations for the defence of his title. Gerrans flew in from Europe late on Tuesday night and spent Wednesday re-familiarising himself with the conditions he can expect on the Tour as Melbourne put on a blustery 30-degree day.
