Catalunya 1 : Prologue : Haimar 16th, Gorka 18th

The Euskaltel riders rode a pretty good time-trial for their standards in the prologue of the Volta a Catalunya. With 5 riders in the top 50 it's certainly a good performance of the team. Haimar was clearly inspired by his baby and got a very good 16th place, 12 seconds down on winner Hushovd. Gorka Verdugo seems in shape too. He took a great 18th spot in the same time as Haimar. Ruben Perez was 29th, Aitor Hernandez 36th and Egoi Martinez 49th. Anton came in 144th and lost 28 seconds.
