Health Partners Men’s Stage 2 DeTour follows a dramatic 148km route through the Mt Lofty Ranges, pairing thrilling race moments with behind-the-scenes access, long lunches and tastings at standout Hills venues. Guests travel by coach from Adelaide, enjoy exclusive start-line access, watch the peloton pass through Uraidla, and finish the day with curated regional flavours and race action.
Mount Barker Road, Stirling
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.
Things to Do
Welcome to the Adelaide Hills, where every season is another reason to visit and the lunches last all afternoon. Cuddle a koala, meet our winemakers, enjoy a craft beer or cider, pick your own fruit, or come for one of the many events. While regional gateways are just a 20 minute drive from Adelaide, be sure to explore further afield and take your time to revel in the romance of an Adelaide Hills affair.
