Essor Basque stage 1

Naturgas got their season off to a quiet start in today's first leg of the Essor Basque. Not surprisingly, the guys from the other side of the Pyrenees proved a class apart by taking the first nine places. Grijalba was the strongest from the red team, grabbing 12th approximately a minute and a half down on victor Bouteille. The rest of the team all finished in the same group as Grijalba, and will look to grab a top-10 in tomorrow's stage.
