Jai Hindley ended his season in Australia with the Wollongong World Championships, and he's starting his 2023 campaign in his home country aswell as the Tour Down Under is set to host another big star.
βWe spend so much of our season in Europe, so it is nice to come back and race in front of Australian fans," the BORA - hansgrohe said in a press release from the race. "2022 was a massive year for me and Iβm looking forward to setting up my 2023 season with a strong performance in Adelaide.β
Hindley last raced the Tour Down Under in 2020 right before the pandemic cancelled the race on two occasions. He had a long stint in Australia that year with Team DSM, having won the Herald Sun Tour before eventually going on to finish in the Giro d'Italia that year. He's looking to aim just as high this start of the season.
The Australian race returns as the opening World Tour event in 2023 with a route that is completely different to it's regular format. The likes of Chris Froome, Geraint Thomas, Jay Vine, Pello Bilbao and Rohan Dennis have all hinted or confirmed their presence at the land Down Under.

- But you see, you are looking at Jonas as if he thinks like you. Maybe heβs not buying houses to MAKE money, perhaps just to use them? There are plenty of countries and cultures where it is quite common for people with means to help those with less, family, friends, neighbours, community. It used to be more like that in a lot of countries where (aside from dole fringe minority) that seems to have changed and probably been forgotten.Mistermaumau11-01-2026
- Oh dear, Nobody was castigating that 18y old starting an unsure career. Heβs approaching 30 now, doesnβt seem to want to move, or buy a 2nd home back home to declare at least SOME taxes there if not all, as a thank you to all he got as a child that allowed him to find this path? Iβll admit that heβs nowhere near as bad as CR but CR has one extenuating circumstance, heβs incapable of thinking, Tadej just doesnβt seem to want to consider the big picture. Once Trump and Putin split up Europe youβll be crying why we didnβt back the idea of Europe more instead of looking so closely at peanuts. Youβre free to go look for 1β¬ houses in the US or Russia if you donβt appreciate the EU. I personally prefer to defend this model as opposed to the other two in which there are very few winners, and currently given a choice, if we canβt defend ourselves, Iβd rather team up with the Chinese to counter both the others, though the Chinese wonβt drop the Russians as long as the US doesnβt treat them as equals. If you consider thereβs any future for this planet if everyone decides only to look after themselves or their kind, you havenβt given things much thought either. Thatβs the second fastest way to finish things, the first being hate and at the moment weβre doing very well at allowing the two to combine in more and more places.Mistermaumau11-01-2026
- Like Trump taking out Maduro, that was the easy part, now whatβs the plan and will everyone follow?Mistermaumau11-01-2026
- I donβt know what the pay cut explains except that his recent results just werenβt that impressive for a team like Visma, he might have understood heβd possibly gain more from them long-term than the salary cut cost him. His previous salary was probably partly based on a receding Tour win with the team that « offered the structureΒ Β» before they got access to big money. Donβt think itβs as simple as you hope.Mistermaumau11-01-2026

- I would like to say one thing to RΓΊben Silva, the author of the article: "Jonas prefers peace and quiet to money compared to Tadej Pogacar who prefers evading taxes!?!? F*** you RΓΊben Silva!!! Your f***** stupid and mean, and you know nothing about Tadej. Capish? Pogi is one of the most humble guys, he takes care of his cyclists on his team, he jokes a lot, he buys his team presents, he has his own Pogi team to help young cyclists (they get everything, the complete cycling kit and bike) for free. He loves his girl Urska and he's enjoying life. So RΓΊben Silva, what else can I say... "shut the f**k up!!!NikkoNicco11-01-2026
- Look I also understand Jonas... do with your money what you like. Maybe he's investing in property and houses...and if he will do it smart, he will make money. That's great, he's thinking about his and his family's future, but the f**ker Ruben Silva made Pogi look like he's a greedy and materialistic person. Shame on him.NikkoNicco11-01-2026
- Ruben Silva is reporting what Brian Holm said, and that gives us the chance to comment on it. But the article is already out of date, with the news of Jonas investing a lot of his money in properties for himself and extended family in Denmark. A sensible path, but he would have a financial advisor like the other top cyclists.Hills3311-01-2026
- Yes, they're implying that the angelic Vingegaard is all home, family and church, versus the diabolical Pogacar, all sex, drugs, and rock and roll, greedy for money and luxury πππ Shameful journalism. The truth is that both of them, each in their own way, lead simple lives and are manically dedicated to their work.
