The Tour Down Under gets underway this weekend, so here's a quiz to see how well you paid attention to the season-opening stage races in years gone by!

First raced in 1999, the Tour Down Under is now one of the major events on both the men's and women's calendars, kickstarting the WorldTour season and showcasing some incredible scenery in and around Adelaide. The likes of the Corkscrew climb and Willunga Hill mean that winning riders really have to be at their best from the first flag drop of the season to take home the ochre jersey.
