South Australian Tourism Commission

Sir Mark Cavendish - widely considered the greatest cycling sprinter of all time - will headline celebrations at the 25th edition of the Santos Tour Down Under in January 2025.

Cavendish, who in July broke the 48-year record of Eddie Merckx, winning his 35th stage of the Tour de France, will be joined by some of the Santos Tour Down Under greats, including two-time winners André Greipel and Richie Porte, as well Australia's only Tour de France winner and Santos Tour Down Under stage winner Cadel Evans.

From Britain's Isle of Man, Cavendish, known as the 'Manx Missile,' boasts an incredible list of achievements including a record 35 Tour de France stage wins, Commonwealth Games gold medallist, and World Road Race champion.

The recently retired sprinter competed at the Santos Tour Down Under in 2011 - the same year he claimed the rainbow jersey as World Champion.
