Tour Down Under to feature first joint men's and women's event
Australia's Tour Down Under will make history by hosting the first joint men's and women's stages on the same course and day. The event will feature a six-stage men's race starting on January 19, 2027, and a three-stage women's race beginning on January 22. This initiative reflects the growth of women's cycling and aims to optimize the racing experience for both men's and women's teams.
