AFTER hosting a stage start last year, Stirling resumes its normal position in the Tour Down Under as a finish location where the three brutal laps of the undulating circuit present an opportunity for a breakaway or a punchy all-rounder.
Metrolopolitan Unley will be the setting for the start of the stage before the peloton travels through the Adealide Hills. Simon Gerrans, Diego Ulissi and Michael Matthews have all won here in the past. Keep an eye on Jay McCarthy at Bora Hansgrohe if he gets the green light from Peter Sagan to sprint for the win, Nathan Haas at Katusha-Alpecin and Simon Clarke at EF Education-First Drapac. But don’t discount a breakaway winning like we saw with Will Clarke on Stage 1 or when he was riding with UniSA-Australia. We should be in for an exciting stage. FOLLOW OUR LIVE BLOG
