Adelaide City Council Tour Village and Bike Expo

The Adelaide City Council Tour Village and Bike Expo is located in Victoria Square in the heart of Adelaide. It is directly opposite the Santos Tour Down Under host hotel, Hilton Adelaide. The Adelaide City Council Tour Village and Bike Expo is a haven for cycling fans and in 2012 it will be bigger and better than ever before.

The outdoor space in the Tour Village will be the hub of the tour. It will be a meeting place for cycling fans, an after work hang out, a place to catch up on the day's racing, to see interviews with cycling stars and maybe even get an autograph! Each day, there will be an entertainment program, showcasing cycling to the fans.

Watch the team mechanics at work as they prepare the bikes for the upcoming stage. Catch the daily race highlights on the big screen and check out the range of sponsor displays. There is ample seating and a vibrant social atmosphere where you can grab a bite to eat or have a drink with your friends.

An exciting new addition for 2012 is the Adelaide City Council Bike Expo, also located in Victoria Square on the northern side directly across the road from the Tour Village. The bike expo is an interactive, engaging exhibition with the opportunity to test ride the latest bicycles around the streets of Adelaide, check out the latest cycling gear, get inspired and equip yourself like the pros.

All official Santos Tour Down Under merchandise can be bought in the Tour Village so you can take home your piece of the action.
