12 months after he blasted up Willunga Hill to lay the foundations for victory in his first-ever stage race in UAE Team Emirates-XRG colours, Ecuador's Jhonatan Narváez is set to make his return to the Tour Down Under this January, his squad confirmed on Tuesday.
The 28-year-old former Giro d'Italia leader and 2024 Tour Down Under runner-up finished the 2025 season well with a third place overall at the Tour of Guangxi. Three months on, Narváez looks to have every intention of a top-level start in Australia's premier men's World Tour event.
