Markel & Andoni colour Australia orange

For the second day in a row one of the Euskaltel guys was in the front of the race. Markel Irizar escaped together with Aaron Kemps and Guillaume Blot with only 6 kilometres racing. The only obstacle of the day was a first category mountain and Markel took 16 points there. Also Andoni Lafuente, the king of the mountains, took 6 points and is now leading strong with 38 points. With 22 kilometres to go the break was put to an end and the sprint was prepared. This time Iñaki Isasi became 24th. He's also our best man in the general rank on a 20th place.
