Jacob's Creek Tour down Under 2001 Reports
New Look Tour 2001 The first stage of the 2001 Jacob’s Creek Tour Down Under is a twilight race and so what better backdrop than the sun setting over the sea in one of our most popular tourism precincts, Minister Hall says.
In keeping with our aim of varying the race route each year, a number of other exciting components have been added to ensure that the 2001 Jacobs Creek Tour Down Under will once again delight the competitors and spectators alike.
The 757 km race will take place from the 16th to 21st January 2001 in the following areas.......

Minister Joan Hall with stage 2 winner Michael Rogers

Stage 1: Tuesday 16th January - Glenelg Street Race Stage 2: Wednesday 17th January - Norwood to Murray Bridge Stage 3: Thursday 18th January - McLaren Vale to Victor Harbor Stage 4: Friday 19th January - Unley to Strathalbyn Stage 5: Saturday 20th January - Gawler to Tanunda Stage 6: Sunday 21st January - City of Adelaide Circuit In an exciting first, the South Eastern Freeway will be open to the cyclists with Stage 4 of the race incorporating not only the freeway but also the Heysen Tunnels. The colourful sight of over 100 cyclists travelling through this South Australian landmark will no doubt be a feature of the broad national

and international television coverage that the event enjoys, Minister Hall says. The Minister also announced that the Muscular Dystrophy Association will be the official charity for the 2001 event. The Jacobs Creek Tour Down Under is a community focused event, so the opportunity to support a local charity is an important aspect of the race. "I’m certain the Muscular Dystrophy Association will benefit greatly from the associated activities it organises in conjunction with the Tour."
