Thursday 22 January Health Partners Men's Stage 2

The only way is up on an epic stage that starts in cosmopolitan Norwood before winding through the Adelaide Hills. Incline? You bet. Health Partners Stage 2 promises 148.1 kilometres of all-out effort as cyclists race from inner-city Norwood to Uraidla in the Adelaide Hills.

Three huge climbs are on the agenda, with a grind up Norton Summit followed by a visit to Mt Lofty and the men’s first dual ascent of notorious Corkscrew Road.

Explore the stage.
