A journey from Magill to the Adelaide Hills frames this crucial second day of racing, one that demands climbing strength but also the punchy tempo of an all-rounder.
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 and towards 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.
Explore the stage.
