The Herald Sun Tour is ready to roll out for its 65th edition in Victoria from January 30 through February 3.

Expected starters include Trek-Segafredo's Richie Porte, EF Education First Pro Cycling's Michael Woods, Team Sky's Luke Rowe and Mitchelton-Scott's Damien Howson.
Other teams for the 2019 race include Team BridgeLane, Sapura Cycling, Australian Cycling Academy, Futuro Pro Cycling, Drapac-Cannondale Holistic Development Team, Oliver's Real Food, EvoPro Racing and Korda Mentha Real Estate Australia.
