Sorry, my mistake....


When I wrote the post about today`s race, I was mistaken. I said that the wind split the peloton, and that the Euskaltel guys ended up in the wrong part. Well, that`s just partly right. The wind did split the peloton, but Euskaltel didn`t end up in the wrong part. The thing is that Koldo Fernandez, fourth yesterday and Euskaltel`s big hope today, punctured 30 kms from the line when in the front part of the peloton. As Koldo was "captain" for the day, every team-mate, except from Beñat Albizuri, stopped to wait for him. The team hoped to be able to bring him back to the front, but due to the strong wind and the high speed of the peloton, this wasn`t possible. Therefore they ended up far behind the leaders. That`s just bad luck, isn`t it?
