ABOUT MEN'S Ziptrak® STAGE 1

A long first day in the saddle will take cyclists from bustling Prospect to deep in the Adelaide Hills. First, though, comes a climb up Gorge Road at Paracombe and a journey to Williamstown on the Barossa’s southern fringe.

The men will pass through new stage finish location Gumeracha twice before setting out on an undulating loop through towns including Lobethal, Charleston, Mount Torrens and Birdwood. From there it’s all about the sprinters – and whether their leadout trains can fire.
