Lanterne Rouge Cycling Podcast
Tour Down Under 2025 - Stage 1
Season 6, Ep. 7
•
Coming to you live from Rapha's pop up in Adelaide, in this episode, we break down all the action from Stage 1 of the Tour Down Under, the opening race of the World Tour season. From the explosive sprint finishes to the GC contenders testing their legs, we analyse every key moment of the day. Who claimed the first ochre jersey? Which teams set the early tone for the race? And what surprises did the South Australian roads have in store? Tune in for insights, tactical breakdowns, and our thoughts on how the rest of the week could play out.
This episode was recorded in front of a live audience without our usual equipment, so the audio may differ from our regular episodes.
