Tour Down Under 2025 Route stage 4: Glenelg - Victor Harbor

The route initially follows the coast in southerly direction before climbing up to the Myponga dam after roughly 40 kilometres. The riders then descend back to the coast and move through Carrickalinga and Normaville before returning to climb.

The first of two KOM climbs is Parawa Hill, which is a 2.9 kilometres test at 7%. By now, the riders have passed the midway marker and enter an undulating phase, which eventually leads to a descent into Victor Harbor.

Just before reaching the finish line the route turns inland again. Nettle Hill is the second and last KOM – 1.9-kilometre at 8.1%, peaking at 17.7% – and it is crested 21.3 kilometres before the finish line.

With 12 kilometres remaining, a 3 kilometres climb at shallow gradients begins. The riders then descend at breakneck speeds toward the finish line on the Esplanade in Victor Harbor.

The last stage winner in Victor Harbor is Rohan Dennis. Two years ago, he attacked with Simon Yates, Jay Vine, Mauro Schmid, and Jai Hindley on Nettle Hill. The five held off the charging peloton before Dennis jumped clear inside the final kilometre to steal the win.

The first three riders on the line gain time bonuses of 10, 6 and 4 seconds, while two intermediate sprints come with 3, 2 and 1 seconds.

The 4th stage of the Tour Down Under starts at 11:10 and the race is expected to finish around 15:21 – both are local times.
