Does any one know exactly where the finish line is at Rostrevor for Stage 2 of the Tour Down Under?. The map on the official web site is a very general view and I know that area well. After the Corkscrew Road hill climb and after the high speed steep descent, the Race emerges from the narrow Valley on to a wide finishing straight. This straight could open up the race again if the finish is a kilometre or so out on the plain. But if it is at the valley exit, and because of the very twisty valley road, the finish will be contested by far fewer riders.:confused:
