Sprint bonus seconds can be also important in this race. At least when the break cannot take them. If you're not Porte to be way better than other in Willunga, a honest sprint is appreciate.

I think that's specific for Denmark.

TV2 still don't seem to have it either. I don't know what's going on but last year it was added quite late to the schedule as well, so one can hope.
the TDU website lists TV2 as a broadcaster, so they do still have the rights at least

Yes, Netserk also pointed that out earlier in the thread. But they don't have it on their website, nor on their list of bike races they show in 2025 nor does it figure on the TV schedule.

For us Yanks Peacock is finally listing the streaming times, unless it's the Tour or the Vuelta they usually wait till the very last minute thereby making me very nervous! Streaming times will start on Jan. 20 at 4:30pm PST every day except for stage 6 (6:50pm) - I'm so used to having to wake up at 4am or sometimes even earlier, so watching a race in the late afternoon/early evening will be a treat!

Why is the women's race discussed here? I know it's traditional to have the messy all-Australian thread but a joint men's and women's thread is even more messy. Even if the races don't collide date-wise.
True, any kind of thread where discussion of a bunch of races that are being held at the same time is taking place can get pretty messy and hard to follow, which is partly why I created this thread for the men's TDU. I just thought the women's TDU is so short there won't be much discussion anyway, but I can see why people are opposed to mixing the races up in this thread.

We often have content about the women's race in a thread that is ostensibly for the men's event, and it rarely causes any discord, and given that the events don't even overlap, I don't get the resistance here.

But seeing as the thread starter for this one (@Tricycle Rider ) has said that she'd rather see this specific to the men's event, and given the (unfathomable, in my mind) perpetual enthusiasm that some have for the Hot racing in Australia thread, I'll move women's race related content to there.

I'm not completely opposed to including the women's TDU in this thread, but I included "men's" in the thread title because that is the race I'm specifically targeting so there's no confusion. But if there's some chatter about the women's race in this thread before the men's race even starts I personally don't mind.
 
Probably still a bit early and you Aussies are probably a much better source for this because I still have to study the geography of South Australia, but here is the weather forecast for stage 1 starting in Prospect on the 21st:

Not sure how unpredictable the weather and reliable the forecast is in that region, so this forecast may naturally change a bit in the next few days. :)

Maybe also pin said thread? @Armchair Cyclist
