Oroz shows decent shape in GP Impanis

Juan José Oroz ensured the GP Impanis - Van Petegem wasn't a total write-off for Euskaltel on Saturday.

The versatile veteran came in a solid 18th, forming a part of the first chase group that came in 43 seconds down on winner Sep Vanmarcke. The rest of the Euskaltel contingent all came in almost ten minutes down - hardly a stellar showing in a relatively low-profile Belgian race.

Results:

• (1, Sep Vanmarcke (Belkin), 4:21:48)
• 18, Juan José Oroz, 0:43
• 85, Garikoitz Bravo, 8:25
• 87, Jon Aberasturi, s.t.
• 89, Miguel Mínguez, s.t.
• 90, Ricardo Mestre, s.t.
• 97, Robert Vrecer, s.t.
• DNF: Steffen Radochla, Pablo Urtasun
