Jon Izagirre 5th in Montañés prologue

Jon Izagirre got his Circuito Montañés challenge off to an excellent start in the prologue today. The 5,8 ITT in Santander saw Martijn Keizer of the fabulous Rabobank Conti team take the win, but Jon was only 15 seconds down in 5th place ahead of such illustrious names as Niels Albert, Philipp Walsleben, Victor de la Parte and Boy van Poppel to name but a few. Adrián Sáez de Arregi and Ricardo García also did well to claim 22nd and 23rd respectively, while Andoni Blázquez was 36th, Xabier Zabalo 41st, Beñat Urain 77th and Mikel Landa 78th.
