So around 10 years ago, there was much derision of the Tour Down Under, it being a very dull race that deliberately did not use the obstacles at its disposal in order to not stop riders from coming, being a very short and boring race consisting of five sprints and Willunga Hill that most riders not from Australia itself treated as a bit of warm weather training, and anybody who actually wanted to do some challenging racing in January instead headed to Argentina.
Oh how the tables turn, now it's the precise opposite, the Tour Down Under has finally turned into a competitive race with varied stages, and San Luís with its ITT, the hilly stage around the motor racing circuit and its two MTFs (one short one long) has been replaced by this absolute mess.
