Euskaltel touch down Down Under

The Euskaltel team for the Tour Down Under have, after spending approximately 20 hours on a place, landed safe and sound in Adelaide, the customary host-town for the opening World Tour race of the 2011 season. After a 12-hour flight from Paris to Singapore on Monday, the travelling party spent the night at the Carlton hotel in the plush and busy city that is Singapore before making a seven-hour trip to Australia and Adelaide yesterday. The riders, Isasi, Velasco, Izagirre x2, R Pérez, Sesma and Minguez, will now start training and acclimatizing to the weather and the time-zone before the big kick-off in less than a week.
