As has become the norm, the 2025 Tour Down Under will ignite the touchpaper for the new racing season. The women's event will be held from January 17-19, followed shortly after by the men's race from January 21-26. Hosted in and around Adelaide, the warmth of the Australian summer always draws plenty of big names to the race as they turn their pedals in anger for the first time in 2025.

This year, the men's race celebrates a milestone 25th edition, while the women's event will mark the start of the Women's WorldTour calendar for a third year running after it stepped up to the sport's top tier in 2023.
