Dunkerque stage 3

Euskaltel put on a decent showing in yesterday's third stage in Dunkerque. The stage was held over some of the Ghent-Wevelgem route and thus included some cobbled sections. The pack split up several times underway, and in the end three Euskaltel riders made it into the main pack. Rubén sprinted to a good 15th place, while Javier and Mikel Nieve also ended up in the main bunch. Javier looked good, trying to get away with five clicks to go, but sadly couldn't quite get the wished-for gap. Anyway a good ride by him. Daniel Sesma is slowly finding his feet again after his injury lay-off, coming in 10:07 back, while Koldo and the Aitors all ended up a massive 16:08 down.
