Ziptrak Stage 1 - Tanunda To Williamstown

Tanunda, South Australia, Australia

Hilly

This ride showcases the best parts of what will be the first day of the 2022 women's racing season. Words that describe this stage are picturesque, flavours of the Tour de France with the mansions, and rolling terrain through the vineyards. It is a historical stage as racing has taken place in this area for at least 50 years. This stage is made for the likes of the sprinters, hiding in the bunch and gritting their teeth to hang in only showing themselves during the flat wide sections approaching the sprints in Williamstown.  The final climb up Whispering Wall is a classic for every local rider, it can be a deceiving climb and the sprinters will need to stay in contact with the bunch if they expect to join their lead out trains when the race makes the last sharp left turn onto Yettie Road, as they approach the final 3ks of the race.
