Stage 1: Hahndorf - Campbelltown, 94 kilometers
The first stage of the race takes place from Hahndorf to Campbelltown. It is a stage for the sprinters, most likely. Two categorized climbs, but a few other uncategorized hilltops. A downhill trend to the finish over the final third of the stage, however the final kilometers are flat and the first ochre jersey should be a fast woman.
Stage 2: Glenelg - Stirling, 104 kilometers
Stage 2 features the traditional finale in Stirling. The city this year only hosts a finale in the women's race, but it always delivers. The stage starts off with a couple hilltops before arriving at the final circuit. Three laps in Stirling which feature a combination of final climbs of 3.8 kilometers at 3.6% and the one which matches with the finish: 1.9Km at 3.8%.
Stage 3: Adelaide - Willunga Hill, 94 kilometers
The final stage of the race begins in Adelaide with two tricky climbs where a strong group can go up the road. However, the GC should ultimately be decided towards the end of the stage and race. The mythical Old Willunga Hill finishes the race, it is 3.4 kilometers at 7.3% and will create decisive gaps.

- I think you overestimate scientific knowledge and for sure the spreading of it. There are huge numbers of people in similar situations, if there were an easy solution somebody would be making big money out of it. Nerve pain can have many complex origins or be due to complex combinations of reasons. Even if you discover a reason there is not always a solution. Migraines haven’t been solved either. I have had lower back/hip nerve pains on and off for over 30 years, no kind of doctor has ever found a way to reduce, prevent or solve the problem. It may just be that some people are born with nerves that are too short or get twisted out of position during certain movements.Mistermaumau22-12-2024
- Amazing ride by her and very promising for her future. On a side note, it’s a bit worrying all these wins riders have after emotional moments in their lives, someone will come up with emotional doping at some point. Maybe give them fake news just before a big race to get hormones pumping.Mistermaumau22-12-2024
