Adelaide > Adelaide 3.6km <\/p>\n

The race kicks off with a nighttime prologue in Adelaide city centre. Just 3.6km in length, it will be over in the blink of an eye. Such a short distance means the stage shouldn\u2019t have a significant impact on the fight for GC, but any time gained in a race like this is very important. Sprinters and track specialists will be eying up the win, beating those types of riders will be incredibly difficult over a 4-minute effort.<\/p>\n
