The 2016 Tour Down Under will be the curtain opener for many riders and their teams next season and will give us a chance to see riders in their new colours for the first time.

Richie Porte, Ryder Hesjedal, Mark Renshaw, Kiel Reijnen, Louis Meintjes and Peter Stetina are all expected to make their debuts with their new teams at the Australian WorldTour race, as are many others.

It’s still over a month before the riders roll out of Adelaide but with teams holding training camps, many have already confirmed their full line-ups for the Tour Down Under. Ag2r-La Mondiale, Astana, Lotto-Soudal and Trek Factory Racing are among the eight confirmed teams so far.

Despite rumours, home team Orica-GreenEdge have not made their starting seven public knowledge but Simon Gerrans and Caleb Ewan will definitely be in attendance come January 19. Other confirmed riders include Cameron Meyer and Rory Sutherland.

The Tour Down Under  begins in Prospect on January 19 and finishes in the centre of Adelaide on January 24. Click here to keep up to date with everything to do with the 2016 Tour Down Under and scroll down for the list of confirmed teams and riders.
