Euskaltel lacklustre in Giro

Euskaltel did not have a particularly good day in the Giro today. None made the break, and the best placed at the finish was Aketz Peña in 47th, 5:42 down. A dismal performance saw every Euskaltel rider arrive was off the pace, though, there are plenty of stages left to leave a mark on the race. Especially Dioni Galparsoro disappointed me a bit, as he seems to be in good shape. He now lies 37th overall. Complete results:

• 47th, Aketa Peña, 5:42
• 48th, Dioni Galparsoro, 6:03
• 78th, Markel Irizar, 12:50
• 91st, Aitor Hernández, 17:35
• 92nd, Iván Velasco, 17.35
• 132nd, Koldo Fernández, 25:33
• 134th, Antton Luengo, 25:33
• 135th, Joseba Zubeldia, 25:33
