Mallorca : Aitor 14, Javier 15, Beñat 17

Euskaltel made a good debut in its first race of the season in Europe. But it was the Belgian Philippe Gilbert who stole the show by escaping in the last two kilometres. The peloton came too late and sprinted for the second place. Brown took it in front of Förster and Steegmans. For Euskaltel Aitor Galdos took an ok 14th place but apparently Javier Aramendia sprinted too and he became 15th + he got some points in the intermediate sprints. Also Beñat Albizuri ended in the top20 with a good 17th spot. One bad thing though, Ivan Velasco crashed in the last kilometres but everything is ok now.
