We’re back for our seventh Santos Tour Down Under!

At Ziptrak®, we’re buzzing with excitement to be the premier sponsor of the Santos Tour Down Under for the seventh consecutive year in 2025! This iconic event, the largest cycling festival in the Southern Hemisphere and the first stop on the UCI World Tour, is a true celebration of community, sport, and South Australia’s vibrant spirit. It’s no wonder it was awarded Australia’s Best Sporting Event in 2024!

As a South Australian-owned company, with our products invented and manufactured here, we take immense pride in showcasing our state to both national and international audiences. The Santos Tour Down Under is the perfect platform to highlight South Australia’s stunning landscapes, vibrant culture, and thriving local businesses. We’re also honoured to be the event’s Official Shade Sponsor, helping spectators stay comfortable while they cheer on the world’s best cyclists in the peak of the Australian summer heat!

We’re bringing extra fun to the 2025 event with new Ziptrak® merchandise and crowd favourites to share with spectators along the race route as we join the Tour Parade for another year. Plus, our popular Ziptrak® Racer bike game is back in the Tour Village, this time with an exciting twist for a fresh competition that’s sure to delight visitors.

Cycling is in our DNA. Our Managing Director, Marc de Maaijer, our Founder, Tony de Maaijer, and many of our Ziptrak® team members are avid riders who appreciate the joy and challenge of the sport. We’re also proud sponsors of Kristina Clonan, a rising star in women’s track cycling, and the Butterfields-Ziptrak Cycling team, a dynamic men’s and women’s team that embodies the same passion and determination we hold dear.

Being part of the Santos Tour Down Under allows us to celebrate the South Australian community while contributing to an event that inspires people around the globe. We can’t wait to see you there for another unforgettable year!
