Last year’s Tanunda stage was almost the same, although it featured three times the bigger lap. This time the last lap is shortened, as the riders head in a straight line from Nutriootpa to the finish line.
Menglers Hill appears in all three laps. It is a moderate ascent of 3.8 kilometres at 3.6%, but with a section up to 13%. There are mountain points available at the summit on all three occassions.
Last year, Sam Welsford powered to victory in Tanunda. Taking his first of three stage wins, he outgunned Phil Bauhaus and Biniam Girmay.
The first three riders on the line gain time bonuses of 10, 6 and 4 seconds, while two intermediate sprints – both in Greenock – come with 3, 2 and 1 seconds.
The 2nd stage of the Tour Down Under starts at 11:10 and the race is expected to finish around 14:23 – both are local times.
