2026 Santos Tour Down Under 5 Day Premium Weekend

Your Tour Down Under adventure begins today! Our friendly Bikestyle staff will be waiting to greet you at Adelaide Airport. To make the most of your arrival day, we recommend landing before midday. We’ve arranged several airport transfers throughout the day, and we’ll take care of transporting your luggage and bike directly to our accommodation at Peppers Waymouth Adelaide.

Once at our hotel, our team will be on hand to help you assemble your bike and ensure everything is in perfect condition for an unforgettable week at the Tour Down Under. In the afternoon, we’ll roll out for a relaxed shakedown ride, an easy spin to get the legs moving, shake off the travel.

As the sun sets, we’ll regroup for welcome drinks at a very special venue (we’re keeping the location under wraps for now!). It’s the perfect chance to meet your fellow travellers, get to know your Bikestyle guides, and toast to the week ahead.

This is just the beginning of an incredible week filled with racing action, beautiful rides, and good times on and off the bike.

Let the Tour Down Under begin.

Today, we ease into the Tour Down Under with a relaxed morning spin to Henley Beach, where the peloton lines up for the stage start against a stunning coastal backdrop. You’ll have time for a coffee by the ocean, snap a few photos with the pros, and soak in the atmosphere before the flag drops on another big day of racing.

From there, we’ll follow the general race direction, skirting through the hills and making time for a quick coffee stop in Stirling or Hahndorf, one of the region’s most charming towns. Our destination? The stage finish in Nairne, where, after two hard days, the GC contenders will be looking to control the race, and anything can happen in the closing kilometres.

After the finish, we’ll opt for a short shuttle, arriving in time to relax and share stories.

Today’s plan starts with a beautiful morning visit to Henley Beach to catch the stage start, where you can enjoy a beachside coffee and mix with the peloton before the flag drops.

We’ll then drive through the hills and arrive in Nairne in time to watch the dramatic stage conclusion. Along the way, there’ll be a chance to catch up with the riders and explore some of the stunning countryside towns en route.

After the stage wraps up, we’ll return to Adelaide as one big Bikestyle crew, with plenty to talk about after another memorable day of the 2026 Santos Tour Down Under.

What’s more iconic than watching the Tour Down Under on Willunga Hill? Watching the peloton race up it three times in one epic stage!

Today we rise early and roll out with purpose, this is the queen stage and a true fan favourite. We’ll ride to the summit and set up our Bikestyle tent in a prime spot on the legendary climb. The atmosphere will be electric, with crowds lining every bend and cowbells ringing as the riders take on this gruelling ascent not once, not twice, but three times.

We’ll settle in with a picnic-style lunch and refreshments, giving you front-row views of cycling history in the making. It’s all about soaking up the excitement, cheering on the pros, and living the true TDU spirit, on the hill, with your crew.

Today is a cycling fan’s dream come true, Willunga Hill in full flight. After a relaxed breakfast, we’ll make our way by bus to the climb, where we’ll take up prime roadside positions. With three ascents on the cards, there’s no shortage of action or atmosphere.

We’ll have a shaded area, a picnic lunch, and plenty of nibbles on hand while you take in the spectacle. After the final surge across the summit, we’ll head back to Adelaide by bus, tired, happy, and with stories to tell.

This is one for the memory books. Don’t forget your camera and your cowbell!

It’s the final stage of the 2026 Santos Tour Down Under, and there’s no better way to round out the weekend than watching the pros battle it out for the coveted Ochre Jersey in the beautiful hills around Stirling.

We’ll roll out early to make the most of our last day on the bike, taking on some scenic roads before positioning ourselves at a prime viewing spot along the circuit. With multiple laps through the leafy village streets and a thrilling sprint to the line, you’ll be right in the heart of the action as the race comes to a close.

After the stage finish, we’ll cruise back into Adelaide and freshen up before coming together one last time for our farewell dinner, a chance to share stories, raise a glass, and celebrate an unforgettable week of riding, racing, and friendships.

Spectators
Today’s the grand finale, and we’ll make it one to remember. Start your day with a relaxing transfer to Stirling, a charming hilltop town full of boutique shops and cafés. Take time to explore before the race charges through town.

You’ll rejoin the Bikestyle crew to watch the drama unfold as the 2026 Tour Down Under crowns its champion.

After the excitement, enjoy a comfortable ride back to Adelaide to freshen up for our farewell dinner, a perfect close to an amazing cycling weekend.

As our unforgettable journey through the 2026 Santos Tour Down Under comes to a close, we want to sincerely thank you for being part of the experience. It’s been a weekend filled with world-class racing, scenic rides, shared stories, and new friendships, moments we hope you’ll carry with you long after you’ve left Adelaide.
