This week, the Santos Tour Down Under kicks off the 2015 international pro cycling circuit, in style. The biggest cycling race in the southern hemisphere brings global competitors and crowds of fans and supporters to Adelaide and regional South Australia.

In conjunction to being the principle technology partner, Hostworks will also be providing the inaugural live stream functionality to the official TDU app, for the entire duration of the Tour.
“For Hostworks to be a part of the Tour Down Under is just another way we can show our Aussie spirit and demonstrate our support for a local event – one that is loved by many from around the world. This is the kind of event that places Adelaide on the global sporting agenda. As Hostworks’ hometown, we are honoured to participate in such an elite international event, held right here in South Australia,” said Will Berryman, Hostworks CEO.
Being digital roadies means, Hostworks are proudly working behind the scenes with this years Tour Down Under and other local SA businesses like Santos and Tourism SA to take the event to the next level of engagement and make sure cycling fans can catch all the action, in real-time wherever they are.
