Discreet Vlaanderen performance

Only two Euskaltel riders finished today's Ronde van Vlaanderen. Juanjo did really well to come in with the third group, alongside the likes of Backstedt, Reynes, Giling, Kopp, Wrolich, Willems, Hoj and Breschel, in 50th place, 9:14 down. He showed himself at the front of the peloton several times before the big-guns got going, and looked good. Impressive debut! Markel was the other rider to finish, coming in 87th, 17:35 in arrears. I've not heard anything about any injuries to the rest, so I assume they're all okay and ready to go for Gent-Wevelgem on Wednesday.
