2020 Tour Down Under routes unveiled
Wi🌳llun꧙ga Hill once again rounds off men's race, four days of racing for women





The 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:2020 Tour Down Under will once again feature Willungౠa Hill on the final day of racing, with organisers keen to keep the suspense and excitement going to the last day of racing of the opening WorldTour race of the season.
Details for the fifth edition of the Women's Tour Down Under were also announced, with the action starting in Hahndorf and finishing with an Adel🍨aide street circuit three days later.
Up until 2019, the final stage of the men's race had been a traditional sprinter's circuit race around Adelaide, with Willunga Hill serving as the 'queen stage' on the penultimate day of racing. 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Richie Porte has a stranglehold on the stage, winning there for the past six years in a row. But despite his Willunga domination, Porte has been beaten to the overall title by 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Daryl Impey for the past two editions. In 2019, the South African stuck to Porte up Willunga Hill, havin🌌g gained time🎃 earlier in the race.
The men's 2020 Tour Down Under route is, as usual, based around the city of Adelaide in South Australia, though for the first time there are no stages starting or finishing in the city. The longest stage is stage 4 from Norwood to Murray Bridge, which runs 💝for 152 kilometres.
"I'm positive that next year's race wi🧜ll be hotly contested," said race director Mike Turtur. "Personally, I am looking forward to stage 2 which features a first-time start at Woodside before crossing over to Stirling, which is a route sure to suit the all-rounders.
"Another stage set to be a highlight is stage 4, with the crosswind bet✤ween Mannum and Murray Bridge a 𝔍considerable element to be contended with."
Amanda Spratt has won the last three editions of the women's🙈 Tour Down Under, taking victory at the uphill finish in Angaston en route to the overall win earlier this year. She could be a threat again in 2020.

"The routes have been designed to provide sprinters, climbers and all-rounders alike the chance to take stage honours," said race director Kimberley Coﷺnte.
"Whether they break away on the technical d⭕escent into the finish of stage 1, attack on Christmas Tree Ridge 8km from the finish of stage 2, or take advantage of the twisting, shaded climb up Aldgate Valley Road – there is opportunity for a win."
