A pandemia da COVID-19 afetou também o ciclismo, e o Tour Down Under não foi excepção. Na impossibildiade de receber as equipas internacionais, a organização reinventou-se e criou o Santos Festival of Cycling. Durante seis dias haverá lugar a diversas corridas online, na pista, montanha e claro, em estrada.
Apesar de não haver equipas estrangeiras, estarão presentes, Richie Porte, Lucas Hamilton, Luke Durbridge, Sarah Gigante, Grace Brown, entre outros, marcando assim a competição com a presença de grandes nomes internacionais, que no caso são as grandes figuras do país.
O Ciclismo Mundial acompanhará as diversas competições neste arranque de 2021, tal como já vem sendo habitual. A prova de estrada terá transmissão televisiva, o que é sempre uma nota importante a salientar.
