Hernández overcomes Murgoitio at hollowed Igorre
Aitor Hernández (Orbea) was jubilant as he crossed the line as he was finally able to beat a rampaging Egoitz Murgoitio (Hirumet-Taldea) and claim victory on the famous Igorre circuit. Hernández was able to come from behind after Murgoitio took an early lead, making the juncture with 2 laps to go, and pounced on the final lap to take an 8 second lead, more than enough to secure a big confidence boost.
