Antón second in Portugal

Euskaltel put on a brilliant performance in Portugal today. The third stage of the Paredes Rota dos Moveis was the so-called queen-stage of the race, with numerous hills to encounter for the peloton. Igor Antón showed his form is still brilliant by placing second on the stage, unfortunately loosing out to Duja-Tavira rider David Blanco in a sprint of two, as the duo had left the rest trailing in their wake. Haimar Zubeldia also showed his form is coming along just at the right time, placing 8th today, only 17 seconds down. On GC, Igor is 2nd going into the last stage, where he has to make up 7 seconds to take the overall win. Haimar is 9th on GC, 27 seconds adrift. Complete results from todays stage:
