Notes

• The Euskaltel team Down Under today did a three-hour, 85km training ride in and around host town Adelaide. The temperatures are said to reach a soaring 35 degrees celsius by midday tomorrow, so to avoid the heat the guys will get up early and get the training out of the way before it gets unbearably hot.
• The team's car-supplier, Skoda, will tomorrow host a celebration of a kind in Paseo Txingudi. Samu Sánchez and Romain Sicard will be present at the event among a host of other stars and celebrities.
