Richie Porte's Willunga Hill Strava record survives by just one second
CyclingSaturday, 20 January 2024 at 15:00
Saturday's stage 5 of the 2024 Tour Down Under saw the race take to the mythical slopes of Willunga Hill. Despite the best efforts of stage winner Oscar Onley however, the Strava best time of Richie Porte continues to hold firm.
The young Brit of Team DSM-Firmenich PostNL flew up the final climb in just 6:35, taking a fabulous stage win ahead of new overall leader at the Australian stage race, Stephen Williams. Former INEOS Grenadiers and Trek - Segafredo star Richie Porte's time of 6:34, set back in 2020, still just about holds the top spot on the Strava list of fastest Willunga Hill summits though.
Also taking place on Willunga Hill today was the traditional, time-trial up the climb that brings together riders, ex-pros, fans and even a few celebrities.
In the men's time-trial, Porte was somewhat unsurprisingly victorious. In the women's event, Sarah Gigante, who took overall victory at the Women's Tour Down Under last week, added further Willunga Hill success to her palmares.

- What this article doesn't mention is the influence of Vingegaards wife (25 tour), whereas Pogs gf doesn't seem to be like so, tho she is a cyclist and knows the scene. When JV won his tours his interviews where certainly not extrovert, very, 'we done the job and that's it, Pogs certainly more verbally animated and it's his personality on the cycle too. JV's had to follow the last few tours, tho if he can get calm & his wife don't pipe up then I think he can do a good ride..

ChillingCyclist10-01-2026 - I'm a big fan, and I'd really like to see him do well. But, I would also like to see him retire at the end of 2026.JoeyB10-01-2026
- Jonas has a completely different personality than Pogi. Pogi can handle the pressure on all terrains. Pogi also loves his peace and quiet. And by the way, you can have your Casio watch. I will take several of the Richard Mille watches. Pogi is charismatic and humble, and always thanks his teammates for everything they sacrifice for him. Jonas probably does the same, but is much more private. Both are great, great riders, and I can't wait for The Tour De France this year! We are going over for two weeks. Go Pogi!
