Euskaltel now Vuelta's best team















Euskaltel may once again have failed in fighting for the triumph on stage 16 of the Vuelta a España, but Igor González de Galdeano's pupils can at least take comfort in now leading the team rankings.

Samuel Sánchez was yet again up there with the very best and cemented his top ten placing, while Igor Antón also showed decent form by coming in just a few seconds further back.

Warren Barguil once again exhibited his precocious talent by taking another stage from the day's main break. Not surprisingly, Egoi Martínez formed part of that move, but the veteran was unable to keep up when the young Frenchman upped the pace. Martínez eventually had to settle for 14th.

Results:
  • (1, Warren Barguil (Argos-Shimano), 3:43:31)
  • 14, Egoi Martínez, 1:13
  • 21, Samuel Sánchez, 1:56
  • 23, Igor Antón, 2:04
  • 35, Mikel Nieve, 3:09
  • 39, Pablo Urtasun, 4:00
  • 45, Juan José Oroz, 4:53
  • 46, Mikel Landa, 5:24
  • 59, Gorka Verdugo, 6:14
  • 91, Jorge Azanza, 17:53
