Vuelta stage 20

It was a rather quiet day for the team - for once - in the Vuelta today. Isasi and Txurruka both got into the day's massive big main break and gave Euskaltel some presence up ahead in front of the Basque faithfuls, but the fugitives were as expected reeled back in by a Leopard-Trek team hungry for success. And success they got in the shape of Bennati's sprint win. Everyone, bar Cazaux and Azanza, cruised home with the peloton. The former ceded 10:23, the latter 15:48. Ahead of tomorrow's traditional (or should we say boring) last stage into Madrid, Nieve is 10th overall and the team is ranked third.
