JJ impressive in Romandie prologue

JJ grabbed an impressive 12th place in today's prologue in the Tour de Romandie. The prologue was held over a mainly flat 4,3-kilometre long circuit in Porrentruy, and JJ showed his form is still at a remarkable level, coming in just 8 seconds adrift of winner Pinotti and ahead of riders like Valverde, Larsson, Menchov, Cavendish, Rabon and Karpets to name a few. The other guys were as predicted way off the pace. Gorka was 13 seconds back in 45th place, Igor and Koldo were both 18 seconds down, Iñaki 20 down, Aitor G 21, Alan 22 and Mikel 29. An okay start for the team as a whole to the race, but an excellent one for JJ.
