The 2014 Tour Down Under is the first World Tour test of the year. Previously a sprinter’s race dominated by the likes of Andre Greipel, the course is now hillier, so we’re expecting to see riders like Simon Gerrans, Cadel Evans and Robert Gesink to the fore. There are still some stages for the sprinters though, and we can’t wait to see how the battle between Greipel, Marcel Kittel and Caleb Ewan shapes up.
