The peloton sets off in Lobethal. Following a 13.8 kilometres local round the route once again moves through the departure place to head for the only KOM climb of the day. Fox Creek is crested at kilometre 37.9 before the riders continue through Forest Range south to Uraidla.
The 2018 Tour Down Under saw a first-ever finish in Uraidla. Following a demanding finale Peter Sagan outsprinted Daryl Impey and Luis León Sánchez on the line. The finale of this year’s Uraidla stage is different though. The riders complete seven laps of 13.9 kilometres on a hilly circuit around the rural town in the Adelaide Hills.
The first three riders on the line take time bonuses of 10, 6 and 4 seconds, while the intermediate sprints (at kilometre 4.7 and at kilometre 18.6) come with 3, 2 and 1 seconds.
