The first UCI WorldTour event of 2014, the Santos Tour Down Under or the TDU is always hot and always a great season opener. We're looking forward to seeing how the pro riders' winter training has gone and who is on form for this season opener, so we sent Daniel Lloyd to Australia to get some in depth info on the race.
Daniel bumped in to a cycling legend in Adelaide, Sir Chris Hoy and asked him his thoughts on the race, who he'd be supporting and we generally got a flavour for the week of racing that's coming up.
