Tour Down Under 2017 Route stage 4: Norwood - Campbelltown

Friday, 20 January 2017 - Stage 4 in the Tour Down Under is played out on an undulating route. At 149.5 kilometres, the route travels from Norwood to Campbelltown.

The 2014 Tour Down Under featured a Norwood-Campbelltown stage, although that route was tougher with a climb up Corkscrew Road in the finale. This time no punchers finale, but a route that's going slightly down in the last 10 kilometres before the closing kilometre is a false flat. In other words, perfect for the likes of Michael Matthews.

By the way, Cadel Evans took the Campbelltown stage in 2014.

Checker Hil is the only hurdle in today's route, crested after 25 kilometres. The 2.1 kilometres climb goes up witn an average 5.5%. Then the riders continue on rolling roads to a likely bunch sprint in Campbelltown.

Time bonuses of 10, 6 and 4 seconds lay waiting on the line.

Stage 4 in the 2017 Tour Down Under is expected to finish at around 15:30 - local time.
