The Tour Down Under may be absent for another year but there will still be a solid block of racing in Adelaide, the surrounding hills and countryside this Australian summer next week, with four days of racing for both the women and men set to unfold at the Santos Festival of Cycling from Sunday January 23. 

The racing is spread over seven days,  with a crossover of the men's and women's race days at the mid-week criterium. It is a National Road Series event which will bring together some WorldTour professionals, the top domestic teams and a number of aspiring young riders.
