Ziptrak® Women's Stage 1: Willunga to Willunga

We’re off to Willunga for an opening stage that will wind through McLaren Vale vineyards and visit the coast before a huge sprint finish.

First up: the Fleurieu Peninsula. And this time it’s not Willunga Hill shaping the story, but rather an opening route that promises to highlight the region at its summertime best.

Sprinters will be eager to earn the season’s first UCI Women’s WorldTour win, while GC contenders are set to size up their competition across 137.4 kilometres – our longest women’s stage ever.

Coastal vistas at Aldinga Beach and Port Willunga are on the agenda, with riders also set to pass many of McLaren Vale’s best wineries. Racing will start and finish on Willunga’s main street, another ideal vantage point for fans touring the action.
