The 2014 Santos Tour Down Under was the 16th edition of the Tour Down Under stage race. It took place from 21 to 26 January and was the first race of the 2014 UCI World Tour. The race was won for a record third time by Australian national champion Simon Gerrans of the Orica–GreenEDGE team, after taking the lead on the penultimate stage of the race and held the race leader's ochre jersey to the finish, the next day, in Adelaide. Gerrans also won the opening stage of the race in Angaston. Gerrans' winning margin over runner-up Cadel Evans of the BMC Racing Team was one second, and Lampre–Merida's Diego Ulissi completed the podium, four seconds behind Evans and five seconds in arrears of Gerrans. Like Gerrans, Ulissi and Evans both won stages of the race, winning in Stirling and Campbelltown
