Teams and riders continue to arrive in Adelaide ahead of next week's Tour Down Under, the 2020 UCI WorldTour opener that starts Tuesday with a 150km test around Tanunda.
Andre Greipel and his new Israel Start-Up Nation team were on hand for the training rides, as was Greipel's fellow sprint ace Sam Bennett, who will be making his 2020 debut with Deceuninck-QuickStep in Australia.
Bahrain McLaren were out and about, as were some of the young riders from UAE Team Emirates and Jumbo-Visma, who will be led in Australia by Kiwi George Bennett.
