With the restrictions currently in place due to the COVID-19, races cannot take place publicly until September 2020.
However, the season began through a new format on Saturday, with a virtual series taking place through online cycling platform Zwift.
Eddy completed the 16-lap Downtown Dolphin course in 36:46, just 0.929 behind winner Graeme Frislie.
Eddy said the move to a digital format had made the race was one of the most competitive he had been a part of.
“Definitely the most competitive online race I've been a part of,” he said.
“The entire peloton is full of super strong riders, everyone was going as hard as they could basically for the entire ride, and somehow we still ended up in a sprint finish.
“I was lucky enough to be in the top five when we got to the end of the race against such a strong field. I think it's great for the entire sport to have us all racing together.”
While Eddy has still attempted to maintain his race fitness by hitting the roads as often as he can, he says that Zwift had provided riders with an extra option.
“Last week it rained basically the entire time, so Zwift was my go to,” he said.
“But I'm continuing to get as much work done on the road as I can. You need to put in the work to stay as prepared as you can for when racing resumes, and you need to do that on the road.
“But at the same time, it provides an opportunity to compete and for us to get some proper work in on the bike, so it's been great for all the competitors in that way.”
Eddy said in light of the restrictions, it was nice to get to race against his regular opponents.
“It was nice to actually get a race in with the NRS peloton,” he said.
“I've been riding on Zwift for a while, and have obviously been doing quite a bit on it lately,” he said.
