Markel in the break; Iñaki 13th in Burgos

Euskaltel enjoyed a good start to this year's edition of the Vuelta a Burgos. Markel managed to infiltrate in the break of the day, together with some 20 other riders, while Iñaki sprinted to 13th and Igor to 18th in the final mass sprint. The break which Markel was a part of split up as the going got tougher, with Russian hot-shot Ignatiev and Spaniard Moreno getting clear. The super-strong Russian then left his companion in search for the stage-win, something he achieved with 34 seconds to spar. All Euskaltel riders, except for Lander, came in with the peloton. Lander came home 3:26 down, so he'll for sure be trying to impress in the remaining stages. Tomorrow will see some serious climbing, so look out for Amets, Samu, Igor and Aitor Hernández to put their stamp on the race. Venga!
