2025 Tour Down Under Report

  Happy Monday, cycling fans! The Men’s WorldTour season began with a bang in Australia last week as the Tour Down Under took place in and around Adelaide. Stage 1 went from Prospect to Gumeracha in a stage which saw Bastien Tronchon of Decathlon AG2R La Mondiale go on an early attack. He was joined by Zac Marriage and Fergus Browning - both Australians - as they looked to make a statement on home roads. Eventually Tronchon left the Aussies to it and returned to the peloton. Marriage and Browning continued in their two-man breakaway for much of the rest of the stage before they themselves returned to the peloton with 23km to go. There was a crash towards the end of the stage, which involved current Australian national champion Luke Durbridge, however it was nothing too serious and he carried on. Sam Welsford - who won three stages at last year’s Tour Down Under - took the victory on day one. Britain’s Matty Brennan of Team Visma-Lease a Bike came second in his WorldTour debut. Stag...

2025 Cadel Evans Great Ocean Road Race Reports

  Happy Wednesday, cycling fans! I’d like to start off by apologising for the late running of this week’s post. I had a busy weekend so didn’t get a chance to watch the races until yesterday and today. Starting off with the women’s race, which took place on Saturday, Kim Cadzow was the first rider to launch an attack, but she then returned to the peloton. Her EF Education-Oatly teammate Babette van der Wolf then launched an attack of her own and was joined by Stine Dale. While this was going on, a crash occurred which included Australia’s Maeve Plouffe, riding for the national team. Marit Raaijmakers was then involved in another crash shortly after. Stine Dale ended up taking the first Queen of the Mountains points with just over 30km to go, with van der Wolf coming second and Amber Kraak coming third on the climb. Babette van der Wolf was then caught by the peloton with around 26km to go, and a while later with 18.8km to go, Dale was also caught by the peloton. Tiffany Cromwell tr...
