Euskaltel once again bad in Santarém

Unai Uribarri was the best of the Euskaltel riders in today`s penultimate and ITT stage in the Volte ao Distrito de Santarém. Though, that tells you more about how bad the rest of the team rode than the quality of Uribarri`s ride. Unai Uribarri came in 48th, 1:17 behind, which is a respectable placing for the young talent. Though, then rest did not deliver. Dioni Galparsoro came in 82nd, 1:53 behind, while Lander Aperribay came in one place and one second furhter down. Joseba Zubeldia was 87th, 1:57 behind, Iban Iriondo 89th, 1:58 behind, Amets Txurruka 93rd, 2:04 behind, Andoni Lafuente 106th, 2:15 behind and Aitor Galdos was 119th at 2:30 from the winner. But, with another stage left on the menu, Euskaltel can turn it around. All riders on the team are capable of winning tomorrow`s stage, so I`m positive.
