Weather at the city of Crafers, on the route, near the finish, at 12.00 Noon, local time: 21C (69F), partly cloudy, with the wind from the southeast at 16 km/hr (10 mph). No rain is forecast, but the temperature will climb to 25C (77F) in the afternoon.

The race: Here's the race organizer's stage five closing report.

Jay Vine became the ninth Australian to claim General Classification (GC) at the Santos Tour Down Under after Simon Yates claimed the stage win at Mount Lofty on Sunday. 

Vine’s GC was incredible.

He was making his UCI World Tour debut for UAE Emirates and now the 27-year-old reigning national time trial champion joins Australian cycling legends Richie Porte, Rohan Dennis, Simon Gerrans, Allan Davis, Pat Jonker, Cam Meyer and new race director Stuart O’Grady atop the podium.

Vine was humbled by the victory on home soil after Porte claimed the 2020 edition of the race before Covid forced a two-year postponement of the Tour Down Under.      

“It was tough out there and it was chaotic for (the final) two laps (towards Mount Lofty),’’ Vine said. “We settled into the rhythm and the boys kept me safe and did an amazing job. I think it’s special to join a new team and it’s also my first (WorldTour) General Classification in my own country. The last guy to win this event, Richie Porte, is an idol of mine and to be standing here, it’s special in my career.”

Vine’s overall victory never appeared to be under any threat throughout Stage 5.   

Santos Tour Down Under: The race as it happened.

15.3km - Ziptrak Sprint 1 Greenhill Road, Uraidla
Jumbo Visma’s Rohan Dennis - the 2015 Santos Tour Down Under winner and 2023 stage winner - attacked as soon as race director Stuart O’Grady dropped the flag 9.3km after the Unley start.

Luke Plapp (Ineos Grenadiers) and Matteo Cattaneo (Soudal-Quickstep) joined Dennis before the peloton swooped on the opportunists.

Ziptrak sprint jersey leader Michael Matthews (Jayco AlULa) made it across the line first to add more points to his early season 2023 WorldTour tally.

Michael Gogl (Alpecin Deceuninck) and Australia’s Reuben Thompson (Groupama-FDJ) finished second and third respectively to claim points and bonus seconds.

Matthews has 61 General Classification points at that stage of the race, 14 points ahead of Caleb Ewan from the Australian national team.              

33.6km – efex King of the Mountain, Mount Lofty Road, Mount Lofty (Category 1) Distance: 1.3km – Average gradient: 7.3km
The first King of the Mountain (KOM) of the day was more of a reconnaissance for the serious General Classification contenders.

Race leader Jay Vine (UAE Emirates) was in the second peloton well protected by his teammates.

It was the first of four times under the KOM Mount Lofty arch before the Tour Down Under was about to crown a new king.

Swiss Johan Jacobs (Movistar) earned 10 points, Australia’s Matthew Denham (DSM), was handed six points for second place and Lucas Hamilton (Jayco AlUla) jagged four points.

Dane Mikkel Honore (EF Education-Easypost) was still in command with the efex KOM leader’s jersey, a point ahead of Vine and six points clear of Simon Yates (Jayco AlUla) at that stage of the race.  

67km - Ziptrak Sprint 2 Greenhill Road, Uraidla
The counterattacks prevailed but never appeared to frustrate the front of the peloton or Vine.

Jayco AlUla’s Michael Hepburn earned maximum sprint points and time bonuses which was a good sign for his teammate and GC points leader Matthews.

Australia’s reigning national road champion Luke Plapp (Ineos Grenadiers) was first to cross the line before the final lap saw a jumpy peloton chase down attacks.

The Italian Cattaneo, 32, was powered away opening a 33-second gap to the main peloton when a solo victory appeared to be on the cards.

The Italian who finished second in his home country's national time trial championship last year was brought back by the chase group with 10.7km before the Mount Lofty summit.        

85.3km - efex King of the Mountain, Mount Lofty Road, Mount Lofty (Category 1) Distance: 1.3km – Average gradient: 7.3km
Mikkel Honore secured the efex King of the Mountain (KOM) jersey for the 2023 edition of the race despite not challenging the KOM for points.

Germany’s Kim Heiduk (Ineos Grenadiers) took the main points as the peloton started winding up for a chaotic finish.        

112.5km – Race Finish – Mount Lofty Road, Mount Lofty 
Jayco AlUla lit up the race just before the final lap towards Mount Lofty. 
Simon Yates handed Australia’s only UCI World Tour team its first stage victory of the new year in the grand finale of the Santos Tour Down Under season at Mount Lofty.

The Englishman claimed the Schwalbe Stage 5 Unley to Mount Lofty after a stunning bunch sprint finish, which saw Yates, and Australians, General Classification leader Vine and Ben O’Connor (AG2r Citroen) turn it on for fans as the finish line approached.

Yates’ grand finale saw him finish just 11 seconds behind Vine, with Stage 3 winner Pello Bilbao (Bahrain Victorious) on the podium in third place, 27 seconds adrift of the new Santos Tour Down Under champion.

Women's Tour Down Under

Tuesday, January 17: 3rd & final stage, Adelaide - Campbelltown, 93.2 km

Stage 3 map & profile

Grace Brown wins the final stage and the 2023 Tour Down Under.

Weather at the finish city of Campbelltown at 12:45 PM, local time: 28C (83F), partly cloudy, with the wind from the northeast at 14 km/hr (9 mph). There is an 8% chance of rain, decreasing to 0% at 4:00 PM.

The race: Here's the race organizer's stage three report:

Australia’s Grace Brown became the historic first Santos Tour Down Under UCI WorldTour champion after taking out the stage win at Campbelltown on Tuesday.

The FDJ-SUEZ reigning national time trial champion beat three-time Tour Down Under champion Amanda Spratt in a sprint finish after an intriguing race which really got started at the bottom of the Corkscrew Road climb.

The Let's Go Stage 3 Adelaide to Campbelltown stage looked like it was on its way to Spratt after her brave fight until Brown powered down Montacute Road to take out GC.

“I’m elated,” Brown said before the was surrounded by FDJ-SUEZ team officials in a show of solidarity. “It feels so good, I knew the climb would be a challenge because Amanda (Spratt) is a bit more of a climber, I just needed to keep her within reach.

“I planned before the stage to put some bigger gears on my bike, so I could keep pushing on the descent.

“I was able to for the last 3kms, I could see her (Spratt) and then I thought if I could catch her and then, I decided to sit behind her in the last kilometre and I was fairly confident I could jump her in the sprint.”

Brown finished 10 seconds ahead of Trek-Segafredo’s Spratt in the GC, her second major prize of the new year after she was crowned as the Australian national time trial champion earlier this month after finishing runner-up in the road race.

Brown also claimed the Ziptrak points classification, two points ahead of Spratt and Georgia Williams from EF Education TBCO SVB who finished third in the stage.

Spratt – a three-time Tour Down Under champion before it was awarded WorldTour status this year - was crowned the efex Queen of the Mountain after reaching the Corkscrew summit in typical fashion first before Brown’s team plan worked a treat.

The race was very controlled from the off as sprinters Georgia Danford from team Coop-Hitec Products and Gina Ricardo from Bridgelane were in the early break.

The pair opened up a gap of 1min 32 second which didn’t worry the race leaders 69km from the Montacute Road, Campbelltown finish line.

As the first Ziptrak preme sprint was approaching the peloton made its move just outside Pioneer Avenue, Lobethal but Ricardo claimed the time first time bonus followed by Danford.

Daria Pikulik from Human Powered Health – the winner of Ziptrak stage 1 Glenelg to Aldinga – picked up the final time bonus beating the ochre jersey leader Alex Manly from Jayco AlUla at bay before the peloton again settled.

With 54km before the finish Lucinda Stewart, 18, from ARA Skip Capital Sunshine joined race leaders Danford and Ricardo to open a two-minute plus gap to the main peloton. The GC leaders’ teams didn’t appear too concerned to chase at that stage of the race as the tempo of the peloton slowed long before the Corkscrew Road climb.

Stewart claimed the second Ziptrak sprint at Torrens Valley Gumeracha with Ricardo and Danford second and third respectively as Manly and Spratt settled into their saddles for the battle of the Corkscrew Road.

Stewart crashed after sliding on loose gravel as she was negotiating a right had turn onto Gorge Road but within seconds she was back on the bike before the peloton made it safely around the same corner.

The showdown for GC was underway at the main peloton with Jayco UlULa, Trek-Segafredo and FDJ-SUEZ preparing for the business end of the race as they flew down Gorge Road.

The breakaway came down to 1 min 21 sec before Brodie Chapman from Trek-Segafredo – the reigning national road champion – put it all on the line to pull Spratt to the top of the Corkscrew Road summit.

Manly, was hanging on as the three-time Tour Down Under champion looked to be comfortabe before the switchbacks on the Corkscrew.

Ruby Roseman-Gannon from Jayco-AlUla was also applying pressure as Manly dropped to the rear of the main peloton.

Chapman was dropped as Spratt attacked at the front on Corkscrew Road and claimed the efex Queen of the Mountain before the super-fast descent.
