After the Women's Tour Down Under and men's Tour Down Under kicked things off last week, the top-level racing season continues in Geelong with the pair of races this weekend featuring several top names, including Chloé Dygert (Canyon-SRAM zondacrypto) and Alberto Bettiol (EF Education-EasyPost).
Other names filling out the startlist at the two races include defending men's champion Laurence Pithie (Red Bull-Bora-Hansgrohe), Elise Chabbey (FDJ-Suez), and Magnus Sheffield (Ineos Grenadiers)
Kathrin Schweinberger (Human Powered Health), Oscar Onley (Picnic-PostNL), Karlijn Swinkels (UAE Team ADQ), Corbin Strong and Stephen Williams (Israel-Premier Tech), and Clara Copponi (Lidl-Trek) will also be among the major names taking the start.
Both races begin and end in Geelong with the men tackling a 183km course and the women racing over 142km. The courses are largely flat, though late ascents of Challambra Crescent (1.1km at 8.5% – four for the men and two for the women) will pose stern tests for the fast finishers.
2025 Cadel Evans Road Race free streams
The 2025 Cadel Evans Road Race is being aired around the world, though fans in Australia itself have the sweetest deal as they get to watch the Cadel Evans Road Race for free.
Both the men's and women's races at the 2025 Cadel Evans Road Race will be aired on free-to-air TV channels 7Mate and 7HD, as well as the free streaming platform, 7plus. All are operated by Seven West Media, which has the main broadcast deal in place this year with the Cadel Evans Road Race.
7Plus requires a registration but no payment, although coverage is geo-restricted so you'll only be able to watch it in Australia, unless you use a VPN to access your account from abroad – more on that below.
Watch the 2025 Cadel Evans Road Race from anywhere
If you are outside of your home region and need to access your live streaming services to watch the action, you may find your access to be geo-restricted. But that doesn't mean you can't watch the races.
In this case, a VPN will come in handy. A Virtual Private Network – to give it its full name – allows your computer to pretend it's in a different country, letting you log into your streaming accounts to catch all of the racing action.
Our expert colleagues at TechRadar recommend using a VPN for streaming as well as enhanced cyber-security – they know a thing or two about VPNs and right now they rate NordVPN as the best VPN on the market.
There's no better VPN for unblocking streaming services, according to TechRadar. It offers super-fast connections to over 5,000 servers across 60 countries, and it's compatible with just about any streaming device out there, including Apple, Android, Roku, Amazon Fire TV, Xbox, PlayStation, and more. You get a money-back guarantee and there's a big discount at the moment.

Cyclingnews is the world's leader in English-language coverage of professional cycling. Started in 1995 by University of Newcastle professor Bill Mitchell, the site was one of the first to provide breaking news and results over the internet in English. The site was purchased by Knapp Communications in 1999, and owner Gerard Knapp built it into the definitive voice of pro cycling. Since then, major publishing house Future PLC has owned the site and expanded it to include top features, news, results, photos and tech reporting. The site continues to be the most comprehensive and authoritative English voice in professional cycling.
