Euskaltel fumble in the dark in Germany

There seems to be no ending to Euskaltel's nightmare-like performance in the Deutschland Rundfahrt. On today's hilly stage a 52-man strong peloton crossed the line with only one Euskaltel rider in it. Jon ended 43rd today, and credit to him. He seems to be in good form at the moment, and will probably be on the attack for the remainder of the race. The rest though seem to be struggling a bit more. Juanjo, Koldo, Dioni and Antton came home with the second big group, 1:51 down, while Alán, Aitor and Unai came in a full 9:57 adrift. Though, just for the record, Alán was on the attack early on, so at least they're trying. The next few stages should suit breaks, so I'll be looking for orange clad riders at the head of the peloton. Aupa!
