Inspired by the contest, I'll tracked a Tour Down Under absolutely out of the contest.

To keep the level of difficulty high, i leave start and finish line where they were (except for Adelaide in last stage)

Here it is what it camed out

Stage 1: Port Adelaide > Lyndoch

There is really not too much to change here. I kept the sprinter stage as it was.

Stage 2: Unley > Stirling

This stage is transformed in a little Liege, with two hard but short climbs in the final.

Stage 3: Glenelg > Victor Harbor

Stage 3 is the second and last for pure sprinters. I'd flatten this more than it was, but I also added a portion on the bay, exposed to the wind

Stage 4: Norwood > Uraidla

A more difficult stage with an hard climb (over 10% slopes) as penultimate climb with a longer climb in the final with only 3 Kms of descent

Stage 5: McLaren Vale > Willunga Hill

I already like the stage as it was. Difficult making it more harder keeping the finish line. So i added another hill.

Stage 6: Adelaide > Adelaide ITT

Stop the final boring stage, let's make an ITT to make also Time Trialist in the game.
