Thursday 24 January - Stage three: Unley to Stirling - 139km
Another bunch sprint looks likely on stage three with the focal point being a circuit around Stirling. The riders tackle an early KOM at Mount Barker Road before passing through the start area for the first time. Six anti-clockwise laps should shake things out before a climb up to the line. That should prove manageable for the fast men ahead of a sprint for home. Live coverage on Sky Sports 1 HD from 0200 to 0400 with highlights at 0830-1030 (SS4), 1500-1700 (SS3), 1830-1900 (SS4), 2130-2200 (SS4). |

Friday 25 January - Stage four: Modbury to Tanunda - 126.5km
Heading to the most northerly point of the race, a series of short, sharp climbs kick off the day. The peloton climbs up Kersbrook Road to the categorised climb at Humbug Scrub for the toughest test of the day. The route criss-crosses roads to the north-east of Adelaide before another likely sprint finish into Tanunda. Live coverage on Sky Sports 1 HD from 0130 to 0330 with highlights at 0830-1030 (SS4), 1500-1700 (SS3), 1830-1900 (SS4), 2130-2200 (SS4), 2330-0000 (SS4). |

Key Stage
Saturday 26 January - Stage five: McLaren Vale to Old Willunga Hill - 151.5km In what looks likely to be the decisive stage, the now famous Old Willunga Hill will have a key part to play on the penultimate day of action. The day is made up of two circuits, with the riders leaving McLaren Vale for three laps taking in the coastal roads. The route passes through Snapper Point before looping back around - the fourth time through Willunga the road finally forking left and up onto the climb. Expect the peloton to split on the first ascent before further attacks ahead of the pivotal final climb and summit finish. Second time up the hill could well see a new race leader with just one stage to go. Live coverage on Sky Sports 1 HD from 0030 to 0500 with highlights at 0830-1100 (SS4) and TBC. |

Sunday 27 January - Stage six: Adelaide Street Circuit - 90km
The final stage could be a hard-fought battle or a largely ceremonial criterium depending on how the general classification looks. With two intermediate sprints and bonus seconds available at the finish on lap 8 and lap 12, the race could go down to the wire as seen in previous years. 20 laps of the 4.5km circuit bring the race to a close, with the sprinters' teams guaranteed to wind it up ahead of a final sprint. Live coverage on Sky Sports 1 HD from 0230 to 0500 with highlights at 1000-1200 (SS3) and 1300-1500 (SS2). |

Are we picking riders for the two races combined? Be good to have some others join to, only one race into the season and they have race leaderboards too. |

This time I'll pick a team of people who are actually racing in this race - i.e. not have Chris Froome in my team this time!!! |

Deadline for choosing your team is 9.30am Sunday. TTT is stage 2, everything else is the same stage pretty much, so not much juggling required.
Will be an interesting race, well as interesting as mile after mile of aircraft runway type roads in a desert can be anyway. |

Sunday 3 February – Stage one: Katara Cultural Village to Dukhan Beach – 145km
The opening stage of the race traverses the Qatari peninsula on an east-to-west route containing a series of tight turns that could prove tricky with the peloton riding at such a high pace. There are two intermediate sprints – at Oryx Farm after 40km and at Dukhan with 35km to go – with each offering three, two and one-second time bonuses for the first three riders. Another 10, six and four seconds are up for grabs for the top three in the sprint to the finish line. |

Bit pot luck this race, a bunch sprint, or the field in a million bits due to the wind... hmm.

Tuesday 5 February – Stage three: Al Wakra to Mesaieed – 143km
The race heads to the south of Doha for two-and-a-third laps of a triangular-shaped circuit that sees the pack ride towards and away from the coast on two occasions each, meaning winds will almost certainly play a part at some stage and splits could open up. There are also two intermediate sprints where vital bonus time can be collected, as well as a final dash to the line. |
