Liv AlUla Jayco<\/strong> will kick-off their 2025 season on home soil\u00a0as they head to Adelaide for the first UCI women’s WorldTour race of the new season, the\u00a0Santos Tour Down Under<\/strong>.

2024 Australian road race champion Ruby Roseman-Gannon <\/strong>will be in action as she continues her hunt for a stage victory at the TDU following a standout year that saw the 26-year-old grab her first WorldTour win.

New Zealand champion Ella Wyllie<\/strong> will don the silver fern jersey one last time before her nationals title defence in February, and the Kiwi lines up in Australia\u00a0looking to improve on her top-10 finish overall in 2024.

There will be a new face on the start line in Liv AlUla Jayco colours as Josie Talbot<\/strong> makes her full debut alongside fellow Aussies Georgia Baker<\/strong> and Amber Pate<\/strong>. It won\u2019t be a completely Antipodean affair for the Australian squad as Dutch all-rounder Silke Smulders<\/strong>\u00a0completes\u00a0the punchy six-rider line-up.

Ruby Roseman-Gannon:<\/strong>
<\/span>\u201cA highlight of the season is always the Australian summer of racing and especially Tour Down Under. Home crowds and lots of family and friends make it particularly special for us.\u00a0

The stages this year look similar to last year but with some added climbs, so I think we can expect more attritional racing and some exciting finales. I think we will have a strong team for the race and I’m excited to see what we can do.\u201d<\/em>

Gene Bates (Head Sport Director and Team Manager)<\/strong>
<\/span>“We\u2019re really excited about the Tour Down Under this year, as we are every year being an Australian team. For me personally, it\u2019s a home race, I come from Adelaide, so it\u2019s extra special.

I think we\u2019re coming into the race with a competitive team, and we\u2019ve got someone for each of the roles were looking for. We\u2019re aiming for stage success and also overall success, we have riders capable of doing both over a challenging and dynamic course. The race is only three days long, but each stage is difficult in its own right.

We will take it stage by stage and really take the approach of three one-day races and try and get the best result each day, and the overall will take care of itself. We\u2019ve got high ambitions with a great team coming together for this one, and we\u2019re excited and motivated to hit the streets of Adelaide!”<\/em>
