Tasmańczyk samotnie przekroczył linię mety i został nowym liderem imprezy.
Drugi etap australijskiego wyścigu WorldTour był dość ciężki i miał wpłynąć na klasyfikację końcową. Kolarze najpierw mieli do pokonania pagórkowate okrążenia wokół Stirling, a na koniec udali się na ciężką wspinaczkę pod Paracombe Hill – 1200m długości ze średnim nachyleniem 9.9% i maksymalnym ponad 20%.
Ucieczkę dość szybko stworzyli Ondrej Cink (Bahrain-Merida) i Cameron Meyer (UniSA Australia), ale zostali złapani po niecałych 25km. Po premii lotnej samotnie zaatakował Jasha Sutterlin (Movistar) i uzyskał ponad 5 minut przewagi. W głównej grupie kilka najmocniejszych ekip zmieniało się na prowadzeniu. Orica-SCOTT chroniła lidera wyścigu Caleba Ewana, a Lotto-Soudal i BMC Racing Team tworzyły okazję dla swoich najmocniejszych zawodników.
W końcówce Rohan Dennis (BMC) i Sergio Henao (Team Sky) mieli pecha. Nieodpowiedni moment na złapanie defektu mocno utrudnił im możliwość walki o zwycięstwo. Na samym początku finałowej wspinaczki zaatakował Richie Porte (BMC), a na jego koło doskoczył Gorka Izagirre (Movistar). Tasmańczyk był jednak za mocny i Hiszpan zaczął tracić.
Ostatecznie Porte wjechał na metę 16 sekund przed Hiszpanem, a na trzecim miejscu, z takim samym czasem, wjechał Esteban Chaves (Orica-SCOTT).
