The first world tour stage race of 2026 is upon us. The Aussie road nats scratched an itch, but now it’s time for the season to properly kick off. The women’s peloton has rolled into town and are about to start the TDU, which looks quite different to previous editions. It’s still just the 3 stages, but Willunga Hill has been removed, however, the route looks very interesting to me. Last year, Noemi Rüegg took a sensational win, and she’s back to see if she can double up, but that’s not going to be easy.
