The Tour Down Under will start with a prologue in 2026, only the second time the race has ever done so. This individual time trial is only 3.6 kilometres long and takes place in Adelaide's Victoria Park.

The intense opening is just an appetizer for what organisers are calling the toughest course on record for the TDU that includes three ascents of Willunga Hill and a finish in Stirling with four trips over the Mount Barker Road climb.
