Tour stage 13

Euskaltel enjoyed a relatively comfortable day in the saddle in today's 13th stage between Pau and Lourdes. Sadly the team missed out on the break of the day, and the climber's jersey by the way as the relentless Roy picked up enough points to take a deserved five-point lead, but most importantly they kept Samu safe and out of trouble ahead of tomorrow's big stage to the Plateau de Beille. Samu, Egoi and Gorka all came in with the pack, while the remaining four, Urtasun, Izagirre, Pérez and Pérez, ended up 22:08 down.
