Le parcours complet et les profils des étapes du Tour Down Under 2024

Le Tour Down Under 2024 (2.UWT) se disputera du 16 au 21 janvier prochain lors de 6 étapes aux profils variés pouvant convenir tant aux sprinteurs qu’aux puncheurs/grimpeurs. A noter l’absence de l’Australien Jay Vine, vainqueur de l’édition 2023.

Le Tour Down Under 2024 (2.UWT) se déroulera du 16 au 21 janvier prochain. Comme à l’accoutumée, l’épreuve australienne lance la saison du calendrier World Tour avec au programme 6 étapes aussi bien pour les profils sprinteurs que les puncheurs/grimpeurs. Le dernier week-end avec la montée de Willunga Hill et l’arrivée finale au Mount Lofty promet d’être explosif et décisif pour le classement général. Jay Vine , le vainqueur sortant, est absent. Sa succession est donc ouverte avec, notamment, Simon Yates (Jayco AlUla) en grand favori parmi les coureurs participants.

Le parcours complet du Tour Down Under 2024

Contrairement à l’édition 2023, le Tour Down Under 2024 débutera par une étape en ligne et non pas par un prologue. La 1ère étape, longue de 144 kilomètres avec départ et arrivée dans la localité de Tanunda est en réalité un circuit que les coureurs auront à parcourir à 3 reprises avec à chaque fois l’ascension du Menglers Hill . Le lendemain, à l’occasion de la 2e étape qui mènera les coureurs de Norwood à Lobethal , le profil sera davantage corsé avec 3000 mètres de dénivelé et 3 ascensions au programme dont le sommet de la dernière située à 40 km de l’arrivée.

Si les 3e et 4e étapes ne devraient pas échapper à une arrivée massive, la 5e étape devrait quant à elle établir une véritable hiérarchie au classement général avec une arrivée jugée au sommet du difficile Willunga Hill . La 6e et dernière étape du Tour Down Under 2024 pourrait cependant redistribuer une dernière fois les cartes au classement général puisque le peloton devra escalader le Mount Lofty (6 km à 3,3 % dont le dernier km à 7,3 %) à 3 reprises dont la dernière au sommet de laquelle sera jugée l’arrivée. On connaîtra alors le successeur de l’Australien Jay Vine , vainqueur de l’édition 2023.

Tour Down Under 2024, étape 3 : Parcours et profil

Au départ de Tea Tree Gully, c’est une nouvelle étape accidentée qui attend les coureurs du Tour Down Under ce jeudi 18 janvier et à l’occasion de la 3e étape. Au programme de l’étape du jour c’est un parcours de quelque 145,3 kilomètres qu’il y a à parcourir et un profil affichant pas moins de 2.211 mètres de dénivelé positif à grimper avec notamment deux difficultés référencées en début d’étape. Et malgré la succession de difficultés tout au long du tracé les sprinteurs sont attendus en vainqueurs à l’arrivée, à Campbelltown. Isaac del Toro (UAE Team Emirates) devrait passer une journée sans encombre.

Une fois n’est pas coutume sur le parcours du Tour Down Under , les coureurs vont parcourir deux boucles, mais pas de tour de circuit. Une nouvelle fois, cependant, les coureurs engagés et toujours en course vont débuter par une ascension qui compte pour le classement de meilleur grimpeur. Dès le kilomètre zéro et jusqu’au kilomètre 2,1, les partants seront au sommet de Tea Tree Gully Hill (2,1 km à 6% de pente moyenne – Passage max à 15,6%) classée en 3e catégorie, et seulement première difficulté répertoriée du jour. Les côtes et ascensions, répertoriées ou non, vont être nombreuses dans les collines d’Adélaïde. Et déjà, au kilomètre 34,6, apparaîtra Whispering Wall Climb (1,7 km à 2,1% de pente moyenne – Passage max à 5,6%) . La suite du parcours et du profil, jusqu’à la ligne d’arrivée, sera ni plus ni moins qu’une succession de montées et de descentes. Mais les équipes de sprinteurs ne devraient pas être suffisamment génées pour ne pas se disputer la victoire d’étape.

Par deux fois les classement par points de meilleur sprinteur sera âprement disputé, une fois les deux difficultés principales du jours grimpées. Le maillot de ce classement distinctif se jouera d’abord à Lyndoch (Km 46,8) puis à Mount Pleasant au kilomètre 83,6.

Tour Down Under 2024 : Parcours et Favoris

Le Tour Down Under (Tour d'Australie) lancera à nouveau la saison 2024. L'occasion d'engranger des kilomètres au soleil, tout en participant à une course du calendrier World Tour. Le parcours, toujours aussi sauvage et unique, se prête à une belle bagarre. Présentation.

Présentation du Tour d'Australie 2024

Rendez-vous de l'autre côté de la planète pour les premiers coups de pédale de la saison. A l'heure où les professionnels doivent affronter les rudes températures hivernales d'Europe, l'Australie accueille le peloton au cœur de son été exotique. Des conditions de reprise parfaites.

L'épreuve fait non seulement figure de premier rendez-vous de la saison mais aussi de principale course d'Océanie. Créée en 1999, l'épreuve est aujourd'hui enregistrée au calendrier de l'UCI World Tour . C'est Stuart O'Grady, ancien professionnel et tout premier vainqueur de l'épreuve, qui en a pris la direction en 2021.

Le Tour Down Under offre une magnifique occasion de lancer sa saison et d'engranger aussi bien de la confiance que des kilomètres. Pour le vainqueur final, ca sera l'opportunité de figurer aux côtés de lauréats tels que Daryl Impey, Richie Porte ou André Greipel. C'est l'Australien Simon Gerrans qui détient le record de victoire avec 4 bouquets.

Côté Français, Gilles Maignan sauve l'honneur grâce à sa victoire acquise en 2000.

Qui remportera l'édition 2024 ? Tous les regards se porteront du côté des Australiens, qui ont remporté 13 des 22 éditions !

Le parcours offrira des paysages sauvages et sublimes comme seule l'Australie peut en proposer, avec un terrain idéal aux baroudeurs et aux puncheurs. Les étapes 4 et 5, avec notamment les cinq ascensions du Mount Lofty, et la double escalade de Willunga Hill, seront cruciales pour le classement général.

Etape 1 : Tanunda - Tanunda, 144km

Etape 2- Norwood - Lobethal, 141km

Etape 3 - Tea Tree Gully - Campbelltown, 145km

Etape 4 - Murray Bridge - Port Elliot, 136km

Etape 5 - Christies Beach - Willunga Hill, 129km

Etape 6 - Unley - Mount Lofty - 112,5km

Les favoris du Santos Tour Down Under 2024 :

La reprise de la saison permet régulièrement d'avoir des surprises au CG. Richie Porte parti à la retraite, la course semble très ouverte. Les puncheurs et grimpeurs sont les immenses favoris, à commencer par Simon Yates, 2e l'an dernier. Il n'a cependant pas beaucoup de concurrence pour Willunga Hill. A noter que nous aurons la chance de voir à l'œuvre plusieurs néo pros comme Del Torro, Staune-Mittet, Ryan, Huby ou encore Morgado.

Côté Français, Julian Alaphilippe semble être la meilleure carte. Après avoir réalisé un bon hiver, il semble motivé à retrouver son niveau et le parcours est taillé pour un Alaphilippe au top ! Sur le papier ça peut faire mal.

Enfin, deux jeunes peuvent marquer la course : Fisher Blake et Plapp. Le dernier cité est déjà double champion national en 2024 et son transfert chez Jayco a sûrement été libérateur pour lui. Il devra néanmoins être plus fort que son équipier Yates, ce qui n'est pas gagné. Quant au Néo-zélandais, il n'a que 22 ans, mais semble retrouver des jambes et fait partie d'UAE, l'équipe la plus forte du peloton en 2023. On le voit très fort. A suivre.

++++ Yates S, Fisher Blake

+++ Plapp, Alaphilippe, Haig, Mollema

++ Bennett, Schultz, Covi, Bouwman, Staune Mittet, Narvaez, Serrano, Battistella, Onley, Dinham

+. Williams, Strong, Ganna, Adria, Berthet, Peters, Ryan, Thompson, Storer, Vader, Del Toro, Haig

Les sprinteurs :

+++ Ewan, Bauhaus

++ Welsford, Girmay

+ Fretin, Viviani, Strong, Ganna, Hodeg, Kanter, Pithie

De complete route inclusief alle etappes van de wielerwedstrijd Tour Down Under 2024

Wielerliefhebbers staan weer te springen van geluk, want het nieuwe wielerseizoen gaat deze maand officieel van start. De renners trappen het seizoen af in Australië. Tijdens de Tour Down Under van 16 tot en met 21 januari 2024 rijden alle profs zes loodzware etappes. Maar hoe ziet het complete parcours eruit? Welke etappes staan er op de planning? En welke Nederlandse deelnemers doen er aan de Australische koers mee?

Wat is de Tour Down Under?

De naam van de koers verklapt de locatie al een beetje. De Tour Down Under is namelijk een wielerwedstrijd die in Australië wordt verreden. Meestal vinden de etappes plaats rond de stad Adelaide en in de tweede helft van januari. Zo ook de 24 e editie van de race. Deze wordt van 16 tot en met 21 januari 2024 georganiseerd.

Sinds 1999 staat de belangrijke wedstrijd op de wielerkalender. Belangrijk, want voornamelijk Europese teams zien de koers als de optimale voorbereiding voor de start van het wielerseizoen in Europa. Deze begint namelijk een maand later. In Australië wordt de wedstrijd gezien als de grootste ronde.

Nederlandse deelnemers aan de Australische koers

Welke Nederlandse profs zien we terug op de startlijst? Voor het team van BORA-Hansgrohe zal de Nederlandse Danny van Poppel afreizen naar Australië. Voor Team Visma-Lease a Bike staan Milan Vader, Loe van Belle, Robert Gesink, Mick van Dijke, Koen Bouwman en Bart Lemmen op de lijst. Ook Bauke Mollema is voor het team van Lidl-Trek van de partij. Tot slot zien we Jardi van der Lee voor EF Education-Easypost en Lars Boven bij Alpecin-Deceuninck terug.

Parcours van de Tour Down Under 2024

Wie dacht dat de renners een makkelijke start van het seizoen zouden krijgen, heeft het goed mis. Alle profs kunnen namelijk aan de bak, want er staan een aantal pittige beklimmingen op de planning. Voordat de wedstrijd begint rijden de pedaleurs een criterium in Tarntanyangga. Om de tien minuten wordt er gesprint voor punten. Deze scores tellen echter niet mee voor het algemeen klassement.

Op dinsdag 16 januari gaat de officiële wedstrijd van start. De renners scheuren in drie rondes 144 kilometer bij elkaar. Kijkers kunnen tegelijkertijd genieten van de prachtige wijngaarden uit de omgeving. Tevens worden de profs op de proef gesteld in de vorm van de Mengler’s Hill. Dag twee is er een voor de sprinters en klimmers.

Op dag drie zullen de Tea Gully Hil en Whispering Wall op de planning staan. De volgende dag komen de sprinters echter helemaal aan hun trekken. De Gemmel Hill is namelijk de enige heuvel die de pedaleurs deze dag moeten trotseren. Het parcours van de koers gaat alle kanten op, want op dag vijf zal de pittige Willunga Hill twee keer moeten worden beklommen. Na de vele kilometers in de benen wordt op zondag op de top van Mount Lofty de grote winnaar bekend.

Alle etappes van de Tour Down Under 2024

De koers telt in totaal  6 etappes . Aan het einde van de meerdaagse wedstrijd hebben de renners een behoorlijke hoeveelheid kilometers in de benen zitten. Blijf op de hoogte van de data, start, finish, type en afstand van de etappes door het overzicht hieronder te bekijken.

Fun facts from our Moscow Metro Tours:

From the very first days of its existence, the Moscow Metro was the object of civil defense, used as a bomb shelter, and designed as a defense for a possible attack on the Soviet Union.

At a depth of 50 to 120 meters lies the second, the coded system of Metro-2 of Moscow subway, which is equipped with everything you need, from food storage to the nuclear button.

According to some sources, the total length of Metro-2 reaches over 150 kilometers.

The Museum was opened on Sportivnaya metro station on November 6, 1967. It features the most interesting models of trains and stations.

Coffee Ring

The first scheme of Moscow Metro looked like a bunch of separate lines. Listen to a myth about Joseph Stalin and the main brown line of Moscow Metro.

Zodiac Metro

According to some astrologers, each of the 12 stops of the Moscow Ring Line corresponds to a particular sign of the zodiac and divides the city into astrological sector.

Astrologers believe that being in a particular zadiac sector of Moscow for a long time, you attract certain energy and events into your life.

Down Under Classic: Jhonatan Narvaez wins from the break

Sprinters miss out in Tour Down Under warm-up criterium

Jhonatan Narváez (Ineos Grenadiers) won the Down Under Classic in central Adelaide after the breakaway managed to hold off the sprint teams at the line.

Some sprinters caught the back of the break of six but it was too late for them to thwart the Ecuadorian, who crossed the line ahead of Natnael Tesfazion (Lidl-Trek) and Isaac Del Toro (UAE Team Emirates), with fellow break rider Harry Sweeny (EF Education-EasyPost) just missing out on the podium at the criterium on the 1.35km circuit in central Adelaide. "Really I didn't expect the breakaway to survive today .... but it was important to never lose the motivation to win the race," said Narváez.

It was a close call with the six break riders, which also included Gil Gelders (Soudal QuickStep) and Oscar Onley (dsm-firmenich PostNL). They hit the finish line just before Phil Bauhaus (Bahrain Victorious) won the bunch sprint to take seventh.

"That was the plan, to make the sprint for Elia, but I was in the front and in the end it was a bit easier to stay in the front than come from the back," said  Narváez.

The one hour and one lap race started and finished on Wakefield Street, in central Adelaide, near the Tour Village and the Hilton hotel were riders and staff stay.   Last year's criterium winner, Caleb Ewan, was surprisingly absent after suffering i the heat during training but is expected to line-up at the Tour Down Under on Tuesday. The criterium kicked off with an attack from veteran Bauke Mollema (Lidl-Trek). He was soon caught and for 30 minutes attacks came and were caught as riders blew away some cobwebs, shook out any remains of their jet lag and tried to animate the race. 

Julian Alaphilippe (Soudal-Quick Step) spent a lap off the front but Bora-Hansgrohe took control for new sprinter Sam Welsford, with few other teams willing to help them.  

The break formed at the midpoint of the race, with Del Toro attacking again after already taking an early intermediate sprint. The young Mexican clearly had orders to make a name for himself on his professional debut.

Narváez joined Del Toro on the attack, as did Jack Rootkin-Gray (EF Education-EasyPost), Gil Gelders (Soudal Quick-Step) and Oscar Onley (dsm-firmenich PostNL), then Natnael Tetsfazion and Harry Sweeny (EF Education-EasyPost) jumped across too. 

Bora-Hansgrohe let them go and so a team pursuit match began.  

The break never opened a gap of more than 15 seconds and the seven Bora domestiques struggled to close down the attackers.

The gap came down as the laps ticked down but not fast enough and the attackers sensed a real chance of victory. 

The peloton came up to the back of the attack as the line neared but the sprinters and their teams missed out. Narváez sprinted to victory ahead of Tesfazion to celebrate a surprise but welcomed early victory.

Moscow Metro

The Moscow Metro Tour is included in most guided tours’ itineraries. Opened in 1935, under Stalin’s regime, the metro was not only meant to solve transport problems, but also was hailed as “a people’s palace”. Every station you will see during your Moscow metro tour looks like a palace room. There are bright paintings, mosaics, stained glass, bronze statues… Our Moscow metro tour includes the most impressive stations best architects and designers worked at - Ploshchad Revolutsii, Mayakovskaya, Komsomolskaya, Kievskaya, Novoslobodskaya and some others.

What is the kremlin in russia?

The guide will not only help you navigate the metro, but will also provide you with fascinating background tales for the images you see and a history of each station.

And there some stories to be told during the Moscow metro tour! The deepest station - Park Pobedy - is 84 metres under the ground with the world longest escalator of 140 meters. Parts of the so-called Metro-2, a secret strategic system of underground tunnels, was used for its construction.

During the Second World War the metro itself became a strategic asset: it was turned into the city's biggest bomb-shelter and one of the stations even became a library. 217 children were born here in 1941-1942! The metro is the most effective means of transport in the capital.

There are almost 200 stations 196 at the moment and trains run every 90 seconds! The guide of your Moscow metro tour can explain to you how to buy tickets and find your way if you plan to get around by yourself.

Rory McIlroy and Shane Lowry Remain Tied for Lead in the Zurich Classic of New Orleans

AVONDALE, La. (AP) — Rory McIlroy and Shane Lowry held onto a share of the lead Friday in the Zurich Classic of New Orleans, with the Irish duo shooting a 2-under 70 in alternate play in the PGA Tour’s only team event.

The teams of Davis Thompson-Andrew Novak, Ryan Brehm-Mark Hubbard and Aaron Rai-David Lipsky matched McIlroy and Lowry at 13-under 131 at TPC Louisiana. They will play best ball Saturday and close with alternate shot Sunday.

Patrick Cantlay and Xander Schauffele, the 2022 winners, were a stroke back with Callum Tarren-David Skinns, Nick Taylor-Adam Hadwin, Zach Johnson-Ryan Palmer, Luke List-Henrik Norlander and Corey Connors-Taylor Pendrith.

McIlroy and Lowry, who opened Thursday with a best-ball 61, overcame Lowry's mid-round putting woes to close with consecutive birdies. Lowry missed two short birdie putts and a makeable par putt.

“I was just trying to keep him as positive as possible and remind him that I’m here and I’m here to back him up in any way that I can,” McIlroy said.

Lowry rebounded with a long par-saving putt on No. 4 and blasted out of a greenside bunker to inches on the No. 8 after a mammoth drive by McIlroy.

“I missed a pretty short one on 18 and then another one on the second,” Lowry said. “I started to get a little bit into myself, but to roll that one in (on the fourth hole) was nice, and to play the last few holes the way we did was really nice too.”

Rai and Lipsky held a one-shot lead heading into the 18th hole when Lipsky hit a wild hook that landed out of play. Lipsky was able to make a bogey putt that helped the team retain a share of the lead.

“It was nice for me to make that putt after I double-crossed that drive off the tee,” Lipsky said, “That was wasn’t fun, I’ll be honest.”

Cantlay and Schauffele had the best round of the day with a 67. They were tied for the lead heading into 18th but Cantlay’s tee shot found the water, leading to a bogey.

Record crowds turned out for the first two days, which tournament officials attributed to the presence of McIlroy, the world’s No. 2 ranked player who has been enjoying the city’s cuisine. Earlier in the week, he admitted he was planning a quick visit to Bourbon Street in the city’s iconic French Quarter, but as of Friday that had not occurred.

“Maybe this afternoon could be the time,” he joked after his morning round.

Moscow metro tour: architectural styles of the subway.

Duration: 2 hours

Categories: Culture & History, Sightseeing

This metro tour of Russia’s capital and most populous city, Moscow, is your chance to get a unique insight into the beautiful and impressive architecture of the city's underground stations. Admire their marble walls and high ceilings representing Stalin's desire for glory after World War 2, and see first-hand how the interiors change with the rise of new political eras. Your guide will lead you through the complex network, which is one of the most heavily used rapid transit systems worldwide, with over two billion travelers in 2011.

Opened in 1935, Moscow’s underground system, now 190 miles (305 km) long with 185 stations, is today one the largest and most heavily used rapid transit systems in the world. On this Moscow metro tour, discover the impressive architecture of Moscow’s underground stations and learn how they reflect the Soviet era.

Getting around by metro, your local guide will take you through parts of Moscow’s infamous history. Stop at stations built during the time of the USSR (Soviet Union) that are praised as one of the most extravagant architectural projects from Stalin’s time. After World War 2, he was keen on establishing Stalinist architecture to represent his rising regime and a recognized empire. Learn how when his successor started the de-Stalinization of the former Soviet Union in 1953, the extravagancy of the architecture was toned down.

Discover how the unique character of each station reflected several different eras. While stations like Kievskaya and Slavyansky Bulvar have pompous halls and high stucco ceilings brimming with extravagant decorations, those built later, like Volzhskaya, are lightly adorned with sparse furnishings. Architect Alexey Dushkin and painter Alexander Deyneka were just two of the many artists who made these magnificent landmarks possible.

Revel in Moscow's glory days, as well as the years of scarcity, on this fascinating Moscow metro experience. Conclude your tour at one of the central stations in Moscow. If you're lucky, you may even find the secret entrance to the unconfirmed Metro-2, a parallel underground system used by the government -- a mystery which has neither been denied nor confirmed today.

Culture Shock Rating

We have a wide range of tours designed to give you an insight into the destination you're travelling in and there is something for everybody. The culture shock ratings considers the destination visited, transport used, activities undertaken and that "Wow, I'm really not at home now!" factor. While generalisations are always tricky, a summary of our gradings is as follows…

This is the least confronting of our tour range. Transport used on the trip is either private or a very comfortable public option, the activities included are usually iconic sites and locations that are not all too confronting.

The tour can include a mix of private and public transport providing a level of comfort that is slightly below what you would experience at home. Sites visited are usually iconic sites, tours can also include market visits, visits to communities etc that provide the traveller with a fantastic insight into destination.

Expect to rough it for parts of this tour, whether it's a packed public bus where you are forced to stand, a visit to a local market, a local community, you are sure to have an experience that is very different from what you're used to at home.

The comforts of your home town and the environment you are used to are more of a rarity. Expect some challenging transport options, visits to local sites and areas that don't resemble anything at home.

You're out there in the global community! You are likely to be exposed to the elements, travel in whatever means of transport is available and basically take it as it comes, whatever comes! It can be tough.

Physical Rating

Our physical rating gives you an idea of how much huffing and puffing you can expect on the tour. While generalisations are always tricky, a summary of our gradings is as follows…

These tours have very limited physical activity. Usually climbing in and out of the transport provided, walking through sites, markets etc included in the itinerary.

These tours have a bit of physical activity but nothing that should challenge you too much. This could be climbing on and off public transport through to a walk through the destination you're travelling in, they can include walking only tours or a combination of walking and transport.
