Opening the year at Tour Down Under

After months of preparation, the 2026 racing season is finally about to begin.

Our men’s and women’s squads are in Adelaide, Australia ready to take on the Tour Down Under. EF Education-Oatly’s riders are keen to support Noemi Rüegg’s quest to defend her 2025 title, while the EF Education-EasyPost squad is ready for stage hunting and aggressive racing.

Alice Towers and Stina Kagevi will race in pink for the first time and they’re thrilled to help defend Noemi’s status as the reigning champion. Magdeleine Vallieres brings the strength and racing savvy that won her the rainbow stripes to Australia. Henrietta Christie returns, ready to be Noemi’s right hand in the peloton.

It's January, and January in the world of women's professional road racing only means one thing: Tour Down Under. For riders who live in Europe or North America, it's a chance to escape the cold and cram in some quality training in the Adelaide hills, with a few days of racing to really get the engines firing. For the Australians, it's an opportunity to display what form they have on the world stage, although a little less so this year.
