Stage 5: Snapper Point - Willunga, 149 km

Always a popular day for fans and riders, the fifth stage from Snapper Point to Willunga encapsulates the best of the Tour Down Under - stunning scenery around the Fleurieu Peninsula, big crowds and solid racing.

The stage is essentially two circuit races placed together, with a coastal loop accompanied by a hilly loop that includes two ascents of Old Willunga Hill, where traditionally the peloton splits and the overall victor usually confirmed or decided.
