Gruelling finish for top cyclists in stage five of Tour Down Under | Adelaide Now: "NEXT year's Santos Tour Down Under will feature the race's first true hill-top finish.

The famed Saturday stage five will finish on top of Old Willunga Hill, instead of in the Willunga township, in a move designed to make it harder for the sprinters to dominate overall honours.

'By creating a hill-top finish on stage five is really taking away the insurance policy for the sprinters,' race director Mike Turtur said."
