Markel in the break; Antton best Euskaltel rider

Markel Irizar was once again a member of the stage`s main break in the Giro today. Markel and 11 others jumped clear after 25 km, though none of them made it to the line ahead of the bunch as the pace was too high in the pack. Antton Luengo came in as best Euskaltel rider atop the terrible Monte Zoncolan, placing a good 44th. Other than that, not much to say. Today`s results:

• 44th, Antton Luengo, 8:27
• 61st, Markel Irizar, 10:56
• 77th, Iván Velasco, 12:49
• 105th, Koldo Fernández, 15:26
