The organisers of the Santos Tour down Under have confirmed that former Grand Tour winner Chris Froome (Israel Premier Tech), Geraint Thomas (Ineos Grenadiers) and Simon Yates (BikeExchange-Jayco) will all kick off their 2023 season at the Australian WorldTour race.

The Tour Down Under has not been a WorldTour race since 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic and travel restrictions to Australia, with the country holding smaller national-level events instead.
