TOUR DOWN UNDER '25

ILLUMINATED BY KNOG.

THE TOUR DOWN UNDER TAKES OVER ADELAIDE FOR 10 DAYS OF ALL OUT, SUN-SOAKED, HIGH ENERGY RACING AND OUR TEAM WAS THERE TO CAPTURE EVERY MOMENT.

The Knog Illumination Service Team was there doing what we do best - keeping cyclists safe, keeping the spirits high and the party going.

The Santos Tour Down Under is the opening event for the UCI World Tour and the first stop for the world's best riders and their cycling teams for 2025. Featuring an electrifying round of racing with the Men's and Women's stages as well as plenty of action-packed cycling, food and music festivities.

If you were in Adelaide between the 17th to 26th of January this year for the TDU, then you might have seen our tasteful (although not technically legal) course markings or heard the massive number of hype guys we recruited and armed with our sign-clappers that could be heard from hundreds of metres away.

We capped off our mad week of spreading joy and chaos by taking over turn one in the Redbull x Oakley Carpark Climb - a rowdy, brutal, uphill event dubbed the biggest street party in Radelaide. Loud, fast and hectic with great food, beers and tunes; it's was a party like no other.

Safe to say out team is still recovering from the soaring temperatures, the cold beers and every one of the heart-pounding, racing moments.

Catch you at the TDU next year.
