"Tour Down Under" 20 JANUARY 2008 (video)

This is the opening lap of the first ever European Pro-tour race held outside of The Continent. The location is at Glenelg in the metropolitan area of ADELAIDE (Australia). The race has been held for 10 years and for the first time there are more French riders than Australians, this as a result of the new status of the race.The still photo is of the sprint finish in the wine area of South Australia in the town of Angaston.(photo courtesy of TDU).
