Course Preview
New year, new start. Magill makes its very first Santos Tour Down Under appearance on day two – seeing the riders off as they head east toward undulating terrain. Weary legs from Willunga the day before will be put to the test across a 130-kilometre stage that offers sprints at Lobethal and Kersbrook before the mountains loom.
It’s not pure climbers who have the best chance of victory here, but rather a cyclist who can set the pace and race aggressively right to the line. No less than five ascents are on the agenda, including a summit finish on the last of three Paracombe climbs. This patch of the Adelaide Hills is known for its rich cycling history, having hosted state and national championships over the years, and offers beautiful backdrops to the fierce on-road battles ahead.
