On the other hand, Sérgio Sousa and Javi Moreno managed to ride up to the bunch from being way back too, so...
good ride from Piamonte though. The cameras didn't really show anything that was happening behind. It was a miracle that we saw what we did! Disappointed in Santí. Very impressed with Alejandro Marque, who was behind Santí but ahead of Schumacher - he's normally an ITT specialist! Gorka Izagirre, far from a climber, had been in the lead group but held on to finish just after Báez.
Probably stage of the year so far.
Anyway, today, the break stuck, Victor Cabedo of the Orbea team leaving his break companions behind to come in solo ahead of Rory Sutherland and José Iván Gutiérrez. Looks like no change at the business end of the GC.
