Catalunya stage 1

The Euskaltel riders managed to slip under the radar in today's first stage of the Volta a Catalunya. No one infiltrated the break, and only three of the guys finished inside the main peloton. Luckily, those three were potential overall candidates Igor Antón, Mikel Nieve and Miguel Minguez. Rubén Pérez and Pierre Cazaux ended up 8:53 in arrears, while Sicard and Jon Izagirre both disappointed by ending up 13:17 adrift. Finally, Alan Pérez came home 14:14 back. Not the best way to start the race, but due to the race's hilly parcours, I expect to see an orange rider or two on the front of the pack in the coming days.
