2015 Santos Tour Down Under Stages

All eyes will be on one man – Cadel Evans – when the 2015 Santos Tour Down Under kicks off the international cycling calendar in January.

The only UCI WorldTour race in the southern hemisphere again returns to weave its way through the picturesque streets of Adelaide and regional South Australia.

And Australia’s only Tour de France winner will be attracting all the attention – competing in his final WorldTour event before he retires from the sport.

However, the BMC rider will have stiff competition with this year’s race containing an exciting blend of youth and experience.

Hundreds of thousands of fans from across the globe are expected to flock to Australia for the event, which starts with the People's Choice Classic - 30 laps of a near-two kilometre circuit around Rymill Park in the Adelaide CBD - before Stage One begins on Tuesday 20 January in the Barossa Valley town of Tanunda.
