ABOUT Schwalbe Men's Stage 5

The formidable Mount Lofty will make its first Santos Tour Down Under appearance on this final day of racing.

O’Grady has kept the ascent in mind since taking on race director responsibilities. Now the time has come.

Riders will leave from the inner-south suburb of Unley and travel up the old freeway, with the end of race neutral set to come at the notorious Devil’s Elbow.

Next up: four passes of 25-kilometre loop through the Adelaide Hills – Summertown, Uraidla, Carey Gully, Bridgewater, Aldgate, Stirling and Crafers all feature.
