The Tour Down Under
The Tour Down Under, now entering its ninth year, is an internationally
renowned annual cycling race attracting leading professional Eurpean
teams. The 700 odd-kilometre race will have six stages and is run
in January each year.
In February 2006 it received Australian Sports Tourism Award of
the year.
Premier
Rann says the routes take riders through some of the State's most
beautiful countryside, including the Fleurieu Peninsula, Barossa
Valley, Adelaide Hills and the cityscapes of Adelaide.
"The
Tour Down Under is undoubtedly Australia's premier cycling event.
It attracts around 100 of the world's best road cyclists to compete
for the coveted Jacob's Creek Yellow Jersey," he says.
"The
2007 route will no doubt challenge the cyclists, test their fitness
and provide some great viewing spots for around 470,000 spectators
who line the streets each year to cheer on the cyclists.
"I
expect there will be fierce competition among towns and suburbs
as they dress up their streets, shops and homes for the title of
'Best Dressed Town'
First held in 1999, the Tour Down Under is a world-class road cycling
race staged over a six-day duration, featuring stage starts and
finishes in key locations throughout Adelaide and regional South
Australia.
