El criterium previo al comienzo del Tour Down Under, la Down Under Classic, se ha disputado este sábado. Sam Welsford ha mostrado su buena forma con una dominante victoria al esprint. Aún así, lo más destacado del final fue un accidente en la última curva que llevó al suelo a muchos corredores. La primera caída masiva de 2025.
Por otra parte, Movistar Team cerró el criterium con un Top 10 gracias al 9º puesto de Carlos Canal. Diego Pescador, en su debut no oficial con el equipo telefónico, terminó 19º.
Lo que hemos presenciado puede ser un calentamiento para la carrera inaugural del World Tour la semana que viene, donde Welsford fue el velocista dominante el año pasado. Red Bull - BORA - hansgrohe realizó una salida perfecta y Welsford realizó un esprint impecable, llevándose la victoria por delante de Henri Uhlig y Matthew Brennan.
El final, sin embargo, estuvo marcado por una desagradable caída en la última curva a gran velocidad, en la que varios ciclistas chocaron y provocaron lo que puede considerarse la primera caída masiva de la temporada.
