Igor doing fine in País Vasco

Igor once again showed his injury isn't hampering him a whole lot today. The rider came in with the main bunch in 37th place, and now occupies a good 14th overall at only 8 seconds from Contador. After the stage he spoke briefly to the team's website: "We got through the day without any problems, something which was the main goal today. The stage was really hard. I didn't think it would be that hard, but the final circuit was terrible. I felt better yesterday, but I'm pleased that I didn't have any problems whatsoever to finish in the first group. Speaking of the tendon injury, it's status quo. Like yesterday, it didn't feel good to begin with, but it soon got better".
