Jon 15th overall as Tour of Poland ends
Jon finished an honourable 15th overall in the Tour of Poland which ended yesterday. Jon finished a good 17th on the stage, 55 seconds down, while Juanjo was not far behind in 34th, 2:51 back on the winner, Johan Van Summeren. Only two more riders finished the race, Markel and Iban Iriondo. They finished 47th and 56th respectively, and that's not too bad. Overall Jon ended up 15th as mentioned, while Juanjo was 32nd, Markel 38th and Iban 51st. Those results led to Euskaltel grabbing the 9th spot in the team rankings, something which took the team up to 13th in the UCI Pro Tour team rankings. I feel Euskaltel certainly pulled off their best perfomance ever in the Tour of Poland this year. They never managed to fight for the wins, but grabbed some top 10s along the way. A 9th overall in the team rankings is not bad either. Aupa Euskaltel!

You can see that they worked on the teamspirit and that they are learning to not only ride good in spanish races :P
Most certainly. They look like they want to ride in other countries now, and that's great.
Maybe one day they come to Norway :P
Yeah, Ringerike Grand Prix is such a prestigious event, huh?
But you have some great riders ! I know you don't like Thor but he's good and I saw in the Tour de l'Avenir and another race (I forgot the name) that there's another promising norge rider, something like Edvard Boassen Hagen
