TV

NINE Network will be the host broadcaster in Australia, showing all stages from start to finish. Streaming for those in the country will be available on 9Now. More info on international TV stations broadcasting the race is available on the Tour Down Under website.

Timetable

Arguably the worst for an European viewer in the whole season. There’s a 9 1/2 hour difference between South Australia and Central Europe. That makes for really early morning times for every stage finish: from 5.11am (Tuesday 16th) to 6am (Sunday 21st), with all other ones scheduled for around 5.30am arrival.

Bonus

Pending further confirmation before the race, bonuses will be the same as in every ‘normal’ UCI race: 10-6-4 seconds at the finish of every stage and 3-2-1 into intermediate sprints. Timing and classifications are expected to be provided by popular company Matsport.

Social Media

The race will be live-tweeted at the organisers’ play-by-play account @tourdownunder. Action can be followed on the hashtag #TDU. As with every race since 2011, we’ll be following our riders’ performances at @Movistar_Team all over the week.

Score

The Tour Down Under is one of very few WorldTour events -the only one if we leave aside Guangxi, Turkey, California and Abu Dhabi, whose WT-expansion status makes it not compulsory for WorldTour squads to attend- where the Eusebio Unzué-led organisation has not conquered overall honours yet.

The Blues have obtained three second-place GC finishes -Luis León Sánchez, in 2010; Alejandro Valverde, in 2012; and Javi Moreno, in 2013- and two 3rd places -both with José Joaquín Rojas, in 2008 and 2009-, as well as four stage wins: ‘Luisle’, Ventoso and Valverde won in Willunga from 2010 to 2012, while Lobato claimed honours in Stirling, in 2015.
