SBS BANK | TOUR OF SOUTHLAND 2026
TOUR DIRECTOR’S WELCOME Welcome to the Tour of Southland It is a real privilege, as Tour Director, to welcome riders, managers, supporters and visitors to Southland for another chapter of the Tour of Southland. More importantly to the 70th edition of the Race. Special welcome to so many of the past winners who have travelled to celebrate this occasion. For me, this Tour is about so much more than racing bikes. It is about the people, the stories, the challenges and the memories that are created along the way. It is about sharing our roads, our communities and our beautiful Southland with everyone who joins us. To the riders, I hope you embrace every kilometre — the highs, the hard days, the unpredictable weather and the special moments that make this Tour what it is. To the managers, supporters, volunteers and everyone behind the scenes, thank you. Your commitment and passion are what make this event possible. And to those visiting our region, I hope you feel the warmth of Southland and leave with wonderful memories of your time here. From all of us involved in the Tour, welcome to Southland. We are delighted to have you with us. Enjoy the racing, enjoy the journey, and most of all, enjoy being part of the SBS Bank Tour of Southland. Waine Harding Tour Director SBS Bank Tour of Southland

CYCLING SOUTHLAND WELCOMES ALL COMPETITORS TO THE
2026 SBS BANK TOUR OF SOUTHLAND!
WELCOME
It is a privilege to welcome everyone to the 70th edition of the SBS Bank Tour of Southland. Seventy editions is an extraordinary milestone. The Tour is much more than a cycling race. It is woven into the fabric of Southland, shaped by generations of riders, volunteers, sponsors, funders and communities who have supported this iconic event. To everyone who has contributed to its success over the years, thank you. This year is particularly special as we host our second Tour in the same calendar year, following the postponement of the 2025 event due to severe weather. Delivering two Tours in one year is a testament to the resilience, dedication and commitment of those behind the event. A special welcome to the many past Tour champions returning to Southland to celebrate this milestone. Each has played a part in shaping the Tour’s remarkable history. It is equally wonderful to welcome past stage and classification winners throughout the week. Their performances, rivalries and stories have helped make the Tour what it is today. An event of this scale relies on an enormous collective effort. To SBS Bank, our teams, sponsors, funders, volunteers, officials, host communities, local authorities, media and the Southland public, thank you for your continued support. I also acknowledge the generations of Cycling Southland members, past and present, whose passion and commitment have sustained the Tour through changing times and challenges. This 70th edition is a tribute to their contribution. For seven decades, the Tour has created lasting memories, fierce rivalries, great friendships and countless stories. As we celebrate this remarkable history, we also look ahead to ensuring the Tour continues to thrive for generations to come. I hope everyone enjoys the racing, the atmosphere and the opportunity to celebrate one of Southland’s great sporting traditions. Julian Ineson President | Cycling Southland

TOUR HISTORY In 1956, Southland cycling officials were invited to submit an event to mark the Invercargill city centenary celebrations. A group of enthusiasts met locally and on Saturday 27 September 1956, Invercargill Mayor Adam Adamson fired the starting pistol outside of the old Post Office in Dee Street, to officially start the inaugural Tour of Southland. With gravel roads and blustery northerly winds to contend with, Kelvin Hastie from Dunedin prevailed in the three day event and had the honour of being the victor in the first Tour of Southland, an event that would gain high profile for both the sport of Cycling and the province over future years. From its modest beginnings as a three day event, the Tour has always caught the imagination of the Southland people and the public have traditionally turned out in numbers to see the high profile event travelling literally past their back doors. Many of New Zealand’s champion cyclists have competed in the Tour of Southland during their careers. Names such as Warwick Dalton, Tino Tabak, Stephen Cox, Jack Swart, Paul Jesson, Graeme Miller, Brian Fowler, Hayden Roulston, Aaron Gate and others, became household names in Southland and for many of these riders, the Tour of Southland featured prominently in their illustrious careers. Over the years, the Tour has taken regular progressive steps to ensure the event’s popularity and success with the most significant change coming in 1995 when the event successfully made the transition to a team’s event and in 2002 when the event gained UCI status and became a registered category 2.2 UCI international Tour. In recent years, the Tour of Southland has attracted many international riders but during its 68 years of history there have only been five international riders who have won the Tour - Mel Powell (Australia) back in 1964, John Lieswyn (USA) in both 2002 and 2004. Mitchell Lovelock-Fay (Australia) 2014, James Piccoli (Canada) 2017 and Dan Gardner (UK) in 2023. Cycling Southland are proud to organise Australasia’s longest running stage race. An event that is a cornerstone of the sporting fabric in Southland.
