Narvaez, Ruegg to defend Tour Down Under titles

Gulf Today

January 03, 2026

Tour Down Under champions Jhonatan Narvaez and Noemi Ruegg will be back to defend their titles at the season-opening UCI World Tour race, officials said Friday, heading a stellar field that also boasts Tour de France queen stage winner Ben O'Connor.

Ecuador's Narvaez (UAE Team Emirates) won a heart-pumping climb up Willunga Hill to help claim the Ochre Jersey in Adelaide in 2025 ahead of Spain's Javier Romo (Movistar Team).

Switzerland's Ruegg took out the women's race from Dutch rider Silke Smulders.

UAE Team Emirates are boosted by 2023 winner Jay Vine, with the Australian coming off a stellar season that saw him clinch the mountains classification at the Vuelta a Espana for the second year in a row.

They are joined by British star Adam Yates, who is a Grand Tour stage winner and champion at the Tour de Suisse, Tour of Romandie and Volta a Catalunya.
