Paris-Nice 6 : Gorka 8th in General

Once again it was a quiet day for Euskaltel in the 5th real stage in Paris-Nice. Gorka, Haimar and Dioni were all in the peloton, but Carlos Barredo won the stage with 2:15 advantage. Resulting in a drop from Gorka from the 7th to the 8th place but only five seconds away from Luis Leon Sanchez. Anton didn't came in with the peloton but in a small groupe together with Aitor 8 minutes down, so he lost some spots in the general rank too.
