Down Under Classic. Luis Leon Sanchez is 8th in chaotic final
The Kazakh Astana Pro Team has opened its 2019 cycling season with the Down Under Classic, a criterium race on the streets of Adelaide, which traditionally precedes the first seasonal UCI WorldTour event Santos Tour Down Under. Astana tried to do this race quite aggressively: Manuele Boaro won an intermediate sprint and stepped on the final podium to get a prix as Luis Leon Sanchez was able to finish inside the Top-10 on 8th position.
