Final sprint showdown at Tour Down Under stage 6

Refresh 2025-01-26T02:50:42.192Z The Tour Down Under goes back to its fun, flat, fast finale in Adelaide with a 90km stage - 20 laps around a 4.5km circuit - with one climb that will hardly worry the sprinters.

The peloton hits Montefiore Hill twice, the final time with 18km to go. 2025-01-26T02:47:30.651Z Stage 5 winner Jhonathan Narváez (UAE Team Emirates XRG) tops the GC with with nine seconds on Javier Romo (Movistar) and 12 seconds on Finn Fisher-Black (Red Bull-Bora-Hansgrohe).

Today’s final stage, a flat fast circuit race, should crown Narváez as the winner of the 2025 Santos Tour Down Under. Albert Withen Philipsen (Lidl-Trek) leads the best young rider classification with 15 seconds on Zac Marriage (ARA Australia), and 20 seconds on Pablo Torres (UAE Team Emirates XRG). Fergus Browning (ARA Australia) leads the mountain classification and simply needs to safely cross the finish line today to take home the final polka-dot jersey.

The last classification up for grabs today is the points classification, led by Sam Welsford (Red Bull-BORA-hansgrohe) by virtue of his two stage wins. He is tied with Narváez with 60 points with stage 4 winner Bryan Coquard (Cofidis) in third with 5 points. 2025-01-20T14:34:27.
