Eurosport will once again be showing live coverage of the Tour Down Under. As usual with racing in Australia, it’s one for the insomniacs if you want to watch live in the UK – the men’s stages start at various times throughout the week between 12 and 1am.

As usual, there’s an on-demand option if you value your shut-eye.

Eurosport is a part of Discovery+ , with a subscription costing £6.99 per month. It’s available on a range of platforms, including tablets, mobile, TV with Chromecast or AirPlay, Android TV and Apple TV.

You can also watch the Tour Down Under on FloBikes , with subscription options costing from $12.49 a month.

Both offer on-demand replays, although US live racing times are a bit more user-friendly than in Europe, with typical stage starts at 7pm Eastern, 4pm Pacific.

Seven West Media is broadcasting the Tour Down Under in Australia, accessed via the 7plus streaming service . You can find the full list of broadcast times for each stage online.

2024 santos tour down under race preview.

The men’s cycling World Tour kicks off in Australia on January 16, 2024 with the Tour Down Under. First run in 1999 it gained World Tour status in 2008 to guarantee it attracts a field stacked with talent to do battle on the sun-parched roads of South Australia.

Held in the state capital Adelaide at the peak of the Australian summer, the race's six stages feature a mix of terrain but it's likely to be the final two that decide the outcome. The summit finishes of Willunga Hill on Stage 5 and Mount Lofty on Stage 6 will be key to deciding who gets to keep the leader's Ochra Jersey. Although both climbs have been used before this is the first time they have been used in the same edition of the race. 

With last year’s winner Jay Vine opting not to defend his title there will be a new name on the trophy this year and the favourites are likely to come from the home team, Jayco-AlUla. With former Vuelta winner Simon Yates and new signing and 2023 Australian Champ Luke Plapp, they will be the force to beat. 

They will also be the team to beat on the race’s opening four flatter stages with their other new signing, another Australian, Caleb Ewen going for the win in the sprints. 

Other big names to look out for are the twin Time trial specialists from Ineos, Filippo Ganna and Josh Tarling. The mercurial Frenchman Julian Alaphilippe, Kiwi, Finn Fisher-Black and the Aussies Sam Welsford and Matt Dinham.

The race, as expected came down to the final climb of Mount Lofty but with so many riders so close the winner was far from decided. The stage started with the largest break of the week being allowed to escape with seven riders going up the road but they were never given much rope with their lead capped at around 3 minutes. Behind the teams of the leader Stephen Williams (Israel-Premier Tech), and yesterday’s stage winner Oscar Onley controlled the peloton , shepherding their leaders to the big finale. 

The first two ascents of the steady climb wore the legs down of both break and peloton then hitting the base for the final time the heat was well and truly on. The break managed to survive until 3 kilometres to go then it was the early race leader Isaac Del Torro who took up the pace and ripped the front apart. Taking a group of 4 with him including the leader Williams this was the decisive move. Del Torro opened up the sprint but it was Williams who triumphed taking both the stage win and the overall race win. 

Below, is our guide to where to watch the 2024 Tour Down Under – including any FREE streams.

Simon Warren has been obsessed with cycling since the summer of 1989 after watching Greg Lemond battle Laurent Fignon in the Tour de France. Although not having what it took to beat the best, he found his forte was racing up hills and so began his fascination with steep roads. This resulted in his 2010’s best-selling 100 Greatest Cycling Climbs , followed to date by 14 more guides to vertical pain. Covering the British Isles, Belgium, France, Italy and Spain he has been riding and racing up hills and mountains for over 30 years now. He hosts talks, guides rides, has written columns for magazines and in 2020 released his first book of cycling routes, RIDE BRITAIN . Simon splits his time between working as a graphic designer and running his 100 Climbs brand and lives in Sheffield on the edge of the Peak District with his wife and two children.

Live images will be provided by Eurosport. The exact schedule and platforms were to be confirmed when this Guide was first updated -Tuesday 2nd January-.

As usual, the viewing schedule is the most uncomfortable for European fans throughout the season: stages end around 5am CET . This Guide’s routes should be detracted nine-and-a-half hours.

There will be 10-6-4″ at every finish, plus  3-2-1″ at the intermediate sprints.

Social Media

The organisers’ Instagram account is @tourdownunder .

For the second consecutive year after the race returned to the international scene post pandemic, the Movistar Team and all WorldTour squads will start their 2024 season at the Tour Down Under.

Featuring no prologue this time around yet bringing the usual criterium preface -in Adelaide, Saturday 13th, three days before the start of the WorldTour’s opening round, Tuesday 16th-, the Aussie event again includes short routes, intense heat and interesting courses , with the weekend’s stages set to gather all attention GC-wise.

There’s three clear sprint opportunities, barring any crashes or echelons, in Tanunda (Tuesday 16th), Campbelltown (Thursday 18th) and Port Elliot (Friday 19th). The first ‘breaking point’ should be stage two on Wednesday 17th, with nearly 3,000m elevation gain and a couple of ascents to Fox Creek Climb (1.6km, 9%) , the final one just eight kilometers from the end.

Saturday 20th will bring the traditional -yet absent in 2023- dual climb of Willunga Hill , 3km at 7.4% with a firdt passage 22km before the uphill finish. It will be a crucial day, but not decisive, as the showdown, Sunday 21st, tackles 2,900m elevationon hilly roads in the interior and the ascents of Mount Lofty, 1.3km at 7,3% with a last passage just 2km form the end.

Tour Down Under stage 5 - How it happened

Jay Vine (UAE Team Emirates) secured the overall title at the Santos Tour Down Under after a final day of racing along a 112.5km route from Unley to Mount Lofty.

Vine did not win the stage, but he sealed his overall victory upon the conclusion 11 seconds ahead of runner-up overall Simon Yates (Jayco AlUla) and 27 seconds on third-placed overall Pello Bilbao (Bahrain-Victorious).

Yates took the stage honours on the last day of racing, finishing atop Mount Lofty just ahead of Vine, as the pair proved to be the strongest climbers on the decisive ascent. Ben O'Connor (AG2R Citroën Team) finished just two seconds back but moved up the overall standings to sixth place.

Magnus Sheffield (Ineos Grenadiers) finished fourth overall, and Mauro Schmid (Soudal-QuickStep) in fifth overall.

The 2023 Tour Down Under once again opens the WorldTour, delivering its 23rd edition after returning from the COVID-19 cancellations of 2021 and 2022. The stage race omits a previous staple, the decisive Willunga Hill stage, but adds new features to the mix, from a 5.5 kilometre prologue and a new summit finish in the Adelaide HIlls featuring the popular local climb of Mount Lofty.

The festivities begin with a criterium on Saturday, January 14 before the WorldTour stage race commences with a 5.5km prologue along Adelaide's Riverbank on January 17.

The first of the road stages takes riders across 149.9km, out and back to Tanunda in the Barossa region of South Australia and while the stage isn't without its undulations, this is a day that is expected to be one for the sprinters.

Date : January 17-22, 2023 Location: South Australia Category: UCI WorldTour

2020 Edition

The racing then heads to to the coast, with the longest stage of the race, at 154.8km, starting in Brighton and then descending into Victor Harbor for the finish. After that it is a climb heavy 116.8km from Norwood to Campbelltown, with the route taking in Norton Summit, Checkers Hill and Corkscrew Road.

Stage 4 will move to Willunga, but there is no sign of the iconic climb this year as it is Port Willunga and the beach which takes centre stage in the 133.2km stage this year. The coastal start and finish line in the township of Willunga should provide another opportunity for the fast men of the peloton, before the race moves back into the climbers territory for the finale.

Stage 5 heads for the Adelaide Hills, with riders setting off from Unley and onto Devil's Elbow, which spells the end of race neutral and the beginning of four passes of a 25km loop which Mount Lofty is the centrepiece of. The peak which delivers views across the Adelaide city skyline also is where the winner of both the stage and tour will be crowned.
