With just over a week to go until the start of the 2020 Tour Down Under, teams and riders have already assembled in Adelaide, Australia as preparations for the first race of the WorldTour calendar begin.
While not all teams have yet arrived in Australia, a number of them have already begun the process of course recons and training rides ahead of the race.
Big-name sprinters Andre Greipel (Israel Start-Up Nation), Elia Viviani (Cofidis) and Sam Bennett (Deceuninck-QuickStep) headed out to get a look at the parcours, as did Romain Bardet (AG2R La Mondiale), among others.
The 22nd edition of the Santos Tour Down Under will get under way in Tanunda, north of Adelaide, on Tuesday January 21, and will run for 6 days, ending on the mainstay of the race, Willunga Hill.
