Paris-Nice stage 3

Euskaltel kept a (too) low profile in today's 3rd stage of Paris-Nice. None of the riders went on the attack, and Samu ended up losing another few precious seconds to Voigt and Contador. When the attacks went towards the end of the stage, Euskaltel were nowhere to be seen, something that must be considered disappointing considering the strength of the team in this race. Samu and Romain did quite well though, coming home with the main pack some 6 seconds down. Iván and Mikel ended up a disappointing 27 seconds down, while Egoi, Gorka and Beñat all look out of shape, the trio coming in 1:17 back, quite a big margin given the not-too-hilly profile of the stage. Koldo came in 2:26 back.
