Euskaltel active in Suisse stage 8

Euskaltel really did their best to shake things up on yesterday's penultimate stage in the Swiss Tour. After missing out on the break of the day, the team was faced with an uphill struggle to make their mark on the stage. They weren't about to go down without a fight though, as the ever-aggressive Amets tried to bridge up. He didn't succeed, but he was at it again on the last lap some 25 kilometres from the finish. He looked pretty strong on the hilly terrain, going solo and all, but he was nowhere near getting anything out of it. Finally he had to settle for a place in the select group of favourites where a strong Jonathan had also found his place. Another strong ride from him on hilly terrain. This is looking good for the future. Pablo and JJ came in with the next group at 2:27, while Francisco and Aitor H ended up 16:48 down. Daniel decided to pull out of the race, unknown for what reason. Now all that's left for the six remaining riders is a 26,9 ITT in Liestal. Look for another powerful ride by Jonathan.
