2ª: Lunes 16 enero. Birdwood – Uraidla (90 km)
Alex Manly se hizo con la segunda etapa del Tour Down Under haciendo valer su punta de velocidad en el reducido grupo final que llegó a meta en cabeza. Como se preveía, en los 30 kilómetros finales se sucedieron los ataques en el pequeño pelotón que participa en la primera prueba del Women’s World Tour y la ascensión al Monte Lofty marcó la carrera.
La local Amanda Spratt realizó un movimiento peligroso en la subida tras el buen trabajo de selección del Trek-Segafredo y tomó la delantera, pero el Jayco AlUla logró darle caza justo a un kilómetro de meta tras una intensa persecución. Ruby Roseman-Gannon se sacrificó para su compañera Manly, que fue la encargada de rematar y conseguir su primera victoria en su país.
Otra protagonista del día fue la británica Claire Steels (Israel) que lo probó desde lejos, rodando durante bastantes kilómetros en solitario en cabeza, hasta ser neutralizada en la última ascensión puntuable. Manly es la nueva líder de la prueba y las primeras diferencias en la general han quedado establecidas, reduciendo la nómina de candidatas a la victoria final a apenas una quincena de corredoras.
La tercera y última jornada de la carrera llevará a las ciclistas de Adelaida a Campbelltown en una jornada de 93 kilómetros en la que se esperan ataques en la parte final. El ascenso a Corkscrew, corto pero con rampas medias del 9%, ubicado a menos de 10 kilómetros de meta, decidirá quien se lleva esta edición de la prueba oceánica.

DECLARACIONES
Alex Manly (Jayco): «Estoy contentísima. No podría haber pedido una etapa mejor para ganar, estas son mis carreteras locales. Estar de líder ahora es un sueño hecho realidad, no hay otra carrera, aparte del Tour de Francia, en la que quiera estar en cabeza, significa mucho para mí. Si Ruby se hubiera escapado en el final, me habría alegrado mucho por su victoria, pero el movimiento que hizo obligó a todo el mundo a perseguirla y yo pude seguirla a rueda. Esperamos que mañana el Trek-Segafredo intente presionarnos, pero intentaremos conservar el maillot. Ruby y yo somos corredoras muy parecidas, así que siempre sabemos que estaremos ahí para apoyarnos la una a la otra, y estoy segura de que mañana ella estará ahí conmigo».
