Baby watch 9: Bizkarra 10th on final stage


Naturgas duo Mikel Bizkarra and Pello Bilbao ended the Baby Giro on a high with a 10th and 22nd place finish respectively on the last stage. Mikel came in with a group a mere 16 seconds down on winner Rabottini to grab a noteworthy result, while Pello was only 10 seconds further back in a five-man group that contained Pays Basque National Team companions Igor Romero and Ugaitz Artola. So strong results all over the board for the team on the ninth and final stage. These strong results secured Igor a 24th place overall, Mikel a 25th, Pello a 33rd and Ugaitz a 41st place. That's not too bad I reckon. The Nartugas duo will now no doubt take a few days out to relax and probably watch some World Cup action instead of riding their bikes. They've just completed their longest race ever, so they no doubt deserve it.
