Romandie 3 : Ruben 10th

Until the last 8 kilometres it was a quit third stage in the Tour of Romandie for Euskaltel. Only Remi Di Gregorio was in the lead after he left his fellow escapers, Arrieta and McKissick, alone. Then suddenly someone from Euskaltel attacked and tried to get away. I'm not sure who it was, but I think it was either Mikel or Jorge. No one got away and it became a sprint. Robbie McEwen won before Bennati and Breschel. Ruben Perez placed himself on spot 10, showing once again that he is becoming a good sprinter. Iñaki Isasi couldn't really convince and became 13th.
