Stage 2: Gawler - Hahndorf, 133.5 km

Starting in Jack Bobridge's hometown of Gawler, stage two will likely see the young South Australian, riding for Garmin-Transitions, try and make his mark late in the day.

Taking riders through the Barossa Valley via the sleepy towns of Williamstown, Forreston, Gumeracha, Mt Pleasant and Birdwood, there are some windswept sections in this part of the stage where a rider with Bobridge's strength could get away and take several minutes on the peloton.
