Cyclists - start your countdown for Australia’s greatest race, the Santos Tour Down Under! Following its enforced hiatus, the first calendar stop for the world’s best road racing is preparing to spin into South Australia, and the anticipation is electric. Now Santini is physically back as a Major Sponsor and a part of the Tour Down Under Village Expo in Adelaide’s Victoria Square, we’re ready to celebrate and offer you never-before-seen deals online and on the ground.
Since 2018, Santini Australia has been an official partner of the Santos Tour Down Under and the subsequent Festival Of Cycling (a virtual replacement during the Coronavirus lockdowns). As a Tour Down Under sponsor, we are responsible for the design and development of all podium jerseys, including the iconic and hotly contested Ochre Jersey from the Tour Down Under. We’ve also got a sensational presence in the TDU Village, so be sure to come and say hi! The biggest cycling race event in the Southern Hemisphere, the inaugural Santos Tour Down Under took place in 1999. Less than a decade later, in 2008, the event became the first outside Europe to be granted UCI WorldTour status. It has since evolved into a brilliant 10-day cycling festival, attracting top male and female UCI WorldTour professional cycling teams. The first big race on the annual UCI calendar, valuable UCI points are up for grabs. Make no mistakes - there is nothing like it in Australia. If you love road racing, these ten days will be some of the most exhilarating all year! If you need any assistance, please feel free to reach out.
