Down Under Classic

Euskaltel did not succeed in putting their mark on today's prelude to the Tour Down Under, the Down Under Classic. The 51-kilometre race, run at an inexorable pace from start to finish, was bound to end in a sprint finish considering the number of speedsters present in Australia, and André Greipel duly delivered with a commanding win. The guys in orange, with no real sprinter in its ranks, failed to mix it up and had to settle for mid-pack finishes.
