Tour stages trimmed
Print Edition
The first two stages of the Tour Down Under race, the opening event of the 2019 professional World Tour, have been shortened after forecasters warned of extreme heat and high winds in South Australia. The Tour, which has attracted the world’s top professional teams and riders begins today with the first of six stages in the hilly, wine-growing regions around the city of Adelaide. Organizers announced on Sunday that the second stage through the Barossa Valley would be shortened because temperatures were expected to hit 40 degrees Celsius. Yesterday the decision was made to also trim the first stage, removing a scheduled loop around the finish at Port Adelaide, because of forecast high winds.
