Stage 2
Mitchelton Wines
Launceston to Poatina
Stage 2 of the tour will see new heights climbed with the commencement in Silverdome to Poatina.
The profile of this stage is like a smiling assassin. It will appear easy in the initial stages with majority of the course based on flat terrain but a hard steep climb to the finish line will be sure to challenge even the best riders.
Starting at the Silverdome in Launceston, the course takes them through some of the Northern Midlands rich agricultural regions before finishing atop Poatina.
There is nowhere to hide on this final 24km climb and it will be the survival of the fittest. This will be the last chance for the strong climbers to lay climb to be crowned the winner of the Tour of Tasmania.
