The Tour Down Under never before visited Uraidla, while Norwood is a regular host. As the crow flies, both places are merely 15 kilometres apart, but the riders take a different route.

With 13.2 kilometres remaining the riders hit Norton Summit, a 5.8 kilometres climb at 5%. After the sprint for KOM points the route continues on a small plateau before another uphill section on Woods Hill Road leads to a 3.3 kilometres (gentle) descent into Uraidla.
