Amets the center of attention as Tour ends

The Tour de France 2007 came to a close today, with Amets Txurruka getting a lot of exposure ahead of enormous crowds at the Champs-Elysées. Amets got to wear the white jersey of the best rider sub-25 as expected for the third day in a row and, couple that with the fact that he won the Tour`s "most aggressive rider"-prize, I guess it wasn`t that big a surprise that the cameras were all over him all day long. It was a rather uneventful day of racing comme d`habitude at the Champs-Elysées, though, Iñaki and Rubén did well to claim 14th and 16th place in the final scramble for the line. A few splits here and there at the finish didn`t do any changes to the overall standings, meaning that Euskaltel finished the race with two riders inside the top 10. That`s amazing, but I`ll write more on Haimar and Mikel`s performances in a few days... Afterwards Amets got his 15 minutes of fame as he entered the podium several times clad in the white jersey. It must have been an enormous occasion for the youngster, and something tells me he`ll grace the Tour podium in futur Tours... There were no changes whatsoever to any of the overall classifications, meaning Euskaltel maintained their 5th place overall in the team ranking. It`s truly been an amazing Tour for the team... Aupa Euskaltel!
