Zubeldia protagonist; Pérez 8th

Joseba Zubeldia was the man of the day for Euskaltel today, as he was a part of a three-man breakaway that was reeled in only 10 kms from the end. Another bunch-sprint was inevitable on the third stage of the Volta Valenciana, where Rúben Pérez was the best placed Euskaltel rider, coming in as number eight. The rest of the Euskaltel riders came in with the main bunch, with Euskaltel now ranked 6th in the team rankings. As a result of his break today, Joseba now finds himself 4th in the mountains classification and third in the comined classification.
