Euskaltel OK in Catalunya

Today`s uphill ITT did not go to plan for Euskaltel. Hopes were high that Samu or Amets Txurruka would be able to fight for the win, but they weren`t really close. Samu came in a respectable 24th, 1:48 down. Young-gun Amets came in further down in 37th, but he`s already this season showed more than enough. He`s shown what he`s made of several times, and Euskaltel have no doubt got an ace up their sleeves for future GTs and stage-races. Anyway, here`s the results:

• 24th, Samu Sánchez, 1:48
• 37th, Amets Txurruka, 2:32
• 96th, Juanjo Oroz, 4:38
• 104th, Unai Etxebarria, 4:54
• 144th, Jon Bru, 6:35
• 161st, Andoni Aranaga, 7:24
• 178th, Aitor Galdos, 8:56

That leaves Samu in 15th overall, while Amets 41st with two stages to go.
