Down Under 4 : Javier Aramandia = star

The fourth stage of the Tour Down Under has been won by Andre Greipel, the winner of the second stage. He won in a sprint before Renshaw and Rojas. But the actual star of today was neoprof Javier Aramandie, of course from Euskaltel. He escaped all alone from the peloton and did an amazing job by riding 80 kilometres in front of the others. But unfortunately he didn't survive the last ten kilometres. Also Mikel Astarloza rode in the picture today because he took two points for the general classifications. Aitor Galdos hasn't been in shape this Tour yet, he finished 24th today.
