Santos Tour Down Under, Stirling, Adelaide Hills

The toughest Santos Tour Down Under yet will finish on an unrelenting stage that has the Adelaide Hills community of Stirling at its heart. It's up, it's down and it's on as the men chase victory on this final day of racing. Stirling is set to host the stage start and finish, with scenic loops through towns including Mylor and Aldgate inviting fans to embrace the action. At nearly 170 kilometres this is among the longest closing stages in Santos Tour Down Under history, chosen by race director Stuart O'Grady OAM to keep the world's best working strategically until the very last moment. We'll see a two-kilometre climb on approach to Stirling, sprints in Heathfield and a weary winner emerge after a huge day in the saddle.
