Down Under Classic : Galdos 16th

Euskaltel's season has been kicked of with a criterium Down Under, the Down Under Classic. It was a 50km long criterium with 25 laps for both pros and amateurs, but of course onlye the pros were able to compete for the victory.

It was Andre Greipel who took the first victory for the semi-new team High Road. He won it in a sprint with 19 others before Mark Renshaw and Robbie McEwen. Aitor Galdos came in 16th, maybe a bit disappointing but with the hot weather he probably needs to acclimatize a bit more. Javier Aramendia rode his first race witht the profs and wasn't yet used to the speed because he came in second last.
