Words fail to say what a great performance Euskaltel and Koldo Fernandez did in the last stage of the Vuelta a Murcia. For the first time there was an actual Euskaltel-train (like the ones for Petacchi and Boonen) and Koldo managed to finish it in an impressive way ! So the first victory of the season is in, more to come I would say. With Samuel 7th, Iñaki 15th, Mikel 19th and Ivan 20th Euskaltel had five riders in the top 20 and won of course the team classification. Koldo also won the sprint classification, 4 points ahead of Brown.
