There are two firsts at this year's Women's Tour Down Under. The first is the inclusion of the race's longest ever stage, with 104.2km being tackled stage two from Glenelg to Stirling. The other is the first appearance of Willunga Hill, the iconic climb so often pivotal to the men's race, which will conclude the race on Sunday.
The women's event (12-14 January) is WorldTour level for the second year, but has grown yet again, with more top teams and international stars present than ever before in South Australia.
