The 2023 season will, some say, begin at the Tour Down Under and both female and male pelotons will travel down to Australia for some early-year good weather and a prestigious race that distributes many points aswell.
The men's Tour Down Under will be back after being cancelled twice due to Covid-19 restrictions, and will take place in the Adelaide region from the 17th to 22nd of January 2023.
The preliminary startlist includes the likes of: Ben O'Connor, Jai Hindley, Max Schachmann, Chris Froome, Kaden Groves, Michael Matthews, Simon Yates, Caleb Ewan, Gerben Thijssen, Ethan Hayter, Geraint Thomas, Alberto Bettiol, Rohan Dennis, Marc Hirschi, Jay Vine, Michael Storer, Bryan Coquard, Hugo Hofstetter and Pello Bilbao.
