Disappointment in Burgos

It was a disappointing day for Euskaltel in today's second stage of the Vuelta a Burgos. The stage, which included 3 cat. 3 climbs and one cat. 1 and an hors category climb, saw Amets finish as the best Euskaltel rider in 19th place. That's good enough, and Igor and Aitor also did an okay job, crossing the line 28th and 30th respectively. Though, the real positive was that Iñaki showed great form by being in the break of the day as well as taking maximum points on all 3 cat. 3 climbs. He's now third in that competition. Samu didn't animate the stage today either, but he's not supposed to if you know what I mean, he's here to gain fitness and build form for the Vuelta. So don't you worry about him... Full results:

• 19th, Amets Txurruka, 3:49
• 28th, Igor Antón, 6:26
• 30th, Aitor Hernández, 6:44
• 63rd, Markel Irizar, 12:39
• 65th, Samu Sáncez, s.t.
• 67th, Iñaki Isasi, 12:41
• 74th, Lander Aperribay, 16:04

Sadly, Iván Velasco had to abandon early on as a mass pile-up left him unable to continue. Nothing has been said on his physical state at the moment, so I presume he's alright considering.
