At 2.15am, the peloton will leave Helensburgh for an amuse-bouche of 30 kilometers along the coastline. After a first pass at the finish, the riders will start the loop of Mount Keira, the toughest slope of the day. The top is already after 42 kilometers. After that outing, the 17.1 kilometer city circuit begins, which is served 12 times. There are 2 slopes on the route with Mount Ousley and Mount Pleasant. The top of that last hump is 8 kilometers from the white line. In that final phase we still have a lightning-fast sinking, the necessary bends and a small trampoline shortly before the rag. .
