The 2009 Tour Down Under is shaping up as one of the biggest sporting events ever held in the state. The decision by former Tour de France champion Lance Armstrong to use the Tour Down Under to start his return to racing has guaranteed worldwide coverage for the event. Starting on January the 18th, the race will travel through the hills region for four out of the six days, passing through many towns including Hahndorf, Stirling and Victor Harbor.
