Riders are just rolling up to a sunny and warm day in Willunga with enough wind to get the flags flying on the start finish.
Since debuting as criteriums in 2011, the women’s Santos Tour Down Under has rapidly climbed the ranks—2.2 in 2016, 2.1 with equal prize money in 2018, WorldTour in 2023, and expanded again with a 1.Pro race in 2025. In 2026, it climbs again: a UCI rule limiting teams to skipping just one Women’s WorldTour event ensures all 14 elite squads will line up in Adelaide for the first time, boosting depth and firepower across the peloton.
