ABOUT Health Partners Women's Stage 2

This 115-kilometre second day will test the peloton like never before. Riders are set to gather on King William Road at Unley – a first for our women’s race – and head to Windy Point at Belair, a leg-burner that presents the route’s opening challenge.

From there the going just gets tougher. Willunga Hill is back, and we’ve upped the ante. The women will tackle this storied climb twice, a new test and one that demands a tactical approach.

Only a remarkable effort will seal this queen stage.
