OK start in Mallorca

Euskaltel got off to an okay start in the Volta a Mallorca today. Javier was once again active, getting a couple of points in the sprint especial competition, while Aitor, Javier and Beñat all got inside the top 20 on the stage. They got 14th, 15th and 17th to be precise. That performance secured a fourth place in the team rankings. Though, there was one mishap today. With 3 km to go, Iván hit the deck hard. He got up pretty quickly and had no troubles crossing the line, so he looks to be OK. Full results:
