In the Australian summer, the Women's World Tour kicks off with a three-day stage race. The varied parcours across the three days gives every type of rider the chance, from the sprinters to the climbers and puncheurs.

Heading back "Down Under", the 2026 WorldTour calendar gets underway at the Tour Down Under in Australia with an exciting six days of racing waiting in store for the peloton for the Men’s peloton.

Previously just an additional day of action for the Women's peloton, now the race has UCI status, so expect the battle to be fierce over the local laps where crosswinds are possible.
