Velasco and Euskaltel impressive in Trentino

Iván Velasco continues to impress in Euskaltel colours. The 27-year-old today came in with the leading group on the first stage of the Giro del Trentino, placing 12th on the same time as winner Damiano Cunego. Not only Iván impressed today. Though the list of results may not indicate it, Euskaltel had a good race today. The whole team, and especially Antton Luengo and Unai Uribarri, were active all day long, initiating several promosing, though eventually unsuccessful, breaks. In the end only Iván was able to come in with the first group, consisting of 39 riders, but Euskaltel can surely look back on a positive day nonetheless. Here`s how the seven riders placed today:

• 12th, Iván Velasco, 0:00
• 45th, Joseba Zubeldia, 1:28
• 73rd, Aketza Peña, 5:31
• 106th, Antton Luengo, 12:08
• 107th, Lander Aperribay, 12:08
• 115th, Beñat Albizuri, 12:08
• 133rd, Unai Uribarri, 12:13
