The FUJI-SERVETTO squads played an interesting role and achieved good results in the in both races – Tour Down Under and the Tour de San Luis. 

The Tour Down Under saw another bunch sprint at the end of the race's fourth stage -Burnside Village – Angaston, 143 km.-, with race leader Allan Davis (Quick Step) taking the win, with Davide Vigano, placing 7th, came into the main group alongside team mates Javier Megias and William Walker. The 5th stage is expected to be a hilly finish, as the riders pedal from Snapper Point to Willunga for 143 kilometres.

At the Tour de San Luis, the stage win went to Jose Serpa (Diquigiovanni), who came across the finish line with a slight 6-second gap over the others. FUJI-SERVETTO put two riders in the stage's top-ten table: Serrano (7th) and Benitez (9th). Serrano (7th)was involved in the break of the day, with eight riders escaping from the peloton in the 20th kilometer. The "Queen stage" of the Argentinian stage-race will be ridden tomorrow, with a 20-km long climb towards the Mirador del Sol (1st.
