Stage 2

Stage two is all about the coast. It will start in beachside Brighton – another event first – and trace the esplanade before a sprint at Aldinga’s Snapper Point.

Look for the peloton crossing Myponga dam wall and sprinting through Yankalilla before descending into Victor Harbor for a big finish.

At 154.8km this is the longest of the Santos Tour Down Under’s five road stages. It’s set to be pivotal.
