Down Under 1 : Galdos 16th again

This night the protour season started with the Tour Down Under in Australia. The Euskaltel riders definitely wanted to show themselves because Txurruka tried to get in the break and Jon Bru took 12 points for the mountains classification. But the best Basque was Aitor Galdos who placed himself 16th in the sprint. The sprint was won by Mark Renshaw, before Rojas and Brown. All Euskaltel riders came in with the peloton, even Javier Aramendia who rode his first official race for Euskaltel.
