Tour Down Under

Tour Down Under

The Santos Tour Down Under is Australia's WorldTour cycling event and the start of the international racing season. It's also where many of the world's biggest names can gauge their form early on.

 

Being the first race of the year, it's also the first chance we get to see the latest gear that the world's best riders will be racing during the season.
