Sanchez 25th in prologue Paris-Nice

Ok I know that the first stage of Paris-Nice wasn't a real prologue, but with only 9 kilometres to go you can barely call it a real stage. The hopes where high for Euskaltel after Markel Irizar's great second place of last year, but he couldn't repeat this. He finished 31th. Samuel Sanchez, the team leader started ok with a 25th place. Haimar Zubeldia is also riding here, in support of Alberto Contador who won today, he became 39th.
