Galdós 5th at Montjuic

Aitor Galdós did really well to claim 5th on today's penultimate stage of the Volta a Catalunya. The stage finished atop the famed Montjuic, a small climb that tends to be too hard for the sprinters. And so it proved, with the win being taken by Dumoulin and with top stage-racers like Joaquin Rodriguez, Rein Taaramae, Klöden, LL Sánchez and Kreuziger all making the top 10 on the stage. And in fifth place was our own Aitor. Great ride. Also in that 46-man strong lead group was Igor, Jonathan and Iván. Gorka came home 1:41 down, Daniel and Miguel 3:02, and Sergio a massive 11:30. With one stage to go, the GC looks like this:

• 11th, Igor Antón, 1:27
• 16th, Iván Velasco, 1:37
• 79th, Miguel Minguez, 25:46
• 91st, Gorka Izagirre, 30:30
• 119th, Sergio De Lis, 44:06
• 126th, Daniel Sesma, 47:05
• 138th, Jonathan Castroviejo, 53:53
• 140th, Aitor Galdós, 54:06
