2014 SANTOS Tour Down Under - Stage 6
The final stage of the 2014 SANTOS Tour Down Under on Australia Day (Saturday 26 January 2014) was held on a new Adelaide CDB circuit incorporating a lap around Rymill Park, a sprint up and down Flinders Street and a loop at the western end of Pirie Street. For most of the race there was a three man breakaway in front (sweeping up all the Sprint bonus points and seconds) with the rest of the peloton over a minute behind them. I stayed down the western end, initially on the corner of Wyatt and Flinders Streets before heading west to the Gawler Place/Flinders Street corner and finally heading to Pirie Street (between Gawler Place and Wyatt Streets).
2014 SANTOS Women’s Cup - Round 3
The final race of the 2014 SANTOS Women’s Cup was held on a "Hotdog" criterium circuit up and down Prospect Road in Prospect on Tuesday 21 January 2014. It's an easy to control circuit associated with a street party but surely something better could have been constructed for the series finale. Surprisingly there were only a couple of crashes on the hairpin corners, possibly caused by tyre failure. The race was won in convincing fashion by Shara Gillow and the series by Loes Gunnewijk, both of Orica-AIS.
