Although retired from racing, Anna will put her helmet back on at this year’s Tour Down Under, riding alongside her children during the San Remo Family Tour.
Located at Victoria Square on January 14th, spectators and participants can join in the cycling, enjoy delicious San Remo pasta dishes, and meet inspiring cyclists.
Cycling legend Anna Meares OAM has been announced as ‘Chef De Tour Down Under’ ahead of the Tour Down Under this month.
James Askham-Levy, Chief Marketing Officer at San Remo says; “We’re excited to have Australian cycling champion and sporting hero Anna Meares on board to bring Australian families together at the San Remo Family Tour, an afternoon full of cycling, pasta and fun.
“The Santos Tour Down Under is such a fantastic event for South Australia and we’re thrilled that it’s returning to include local and international cycling participation. The pairing of San Remo pasta and cycling is a perfect match as it has been long regarded as the go-to meal for an energy boost by athletes including cyclists to keep them going for longer.”
Anna remains a passionate pasta fan, commonly serving it to her family for lunch and dinner along with using it to keep her energy levels high when travelling, working out, commentating and being a busy parent. Anna Meares said of her appointment as the ambassador for the San Remo Family Tour; “I am thrilled to be working with San Remo to fuel my love for pasta, cycling and family. I’m looking forward to being part of the Santos Tour Down Under this year and riding along with my children and the future champions of tomorrow at San Remo Family Tour.”
