As many of you have noted in the Race Discussion thread, the field for this year's edition of Euskal Bizikleta is extremely strong - and with four hilly stages and a hilly time trial, it will also turn into a matter of consistency. One off-day, and you're out of the GC.
This particular stage is pretty much flat until shortly before the finish where the peloton has to pass a rather difficult climb which is probably more suited for the climbers than the hilly riders - we'll see.
Anyway - the race got off to a rather hectic start. A lot of riders attacked, including plenty of semi-favourites such as Saldarriaga, Quintero and Kroon. And while this was going on, Falcon's team leader Hoogerland had a puncture. Only two team mates were sent back to help him, and due to the peloton's chasing, they had a lot of trouble getting Hoogerland back to the peloton.
After having brought back a few of the escapees, the peloton finally decided to let the breakaway go with 115 km to go. Six riders had been allowed to go: P. Scarponi (Wiggle), Saldarriaga (Benfica), Landaluze (Yamaha), Quintero (YouTwit), Nepomnyachsniy (Milka) and Brolin (IKEA).
Behind them, Hoogerland was still having trouble. He never managed to regain contact with the peloton.
The breakaway managed to get a gap of 5 minutes, but with 90 km to go, Santander (Cobo as captain) and UBS (Schumacher) decided to take the front of the peloton and up the pace.
With 50 km to go, the group still had a gap of 3 minutes, though. At this point, Scarponi had won the stage's first three mountain sprints - but if he doesn't get points on the last mountain sprint, there's no mountain jersey for him.
Rather surprisingly, the six-man group managed to hold off the peloton. At the foot of the climb, they still had 1'50, and with some rather good climbers in the group, they still had a shot.
The high pace quickly made Brolin drop-off from the group, though.
Shortly after, Scarponi also gave up - and with no attacks coming from the favourites, Quintero decided to push the pace as much as possible. 1 km from the top, he dropped his fellow companions.
At the top, and with 10 km to go, he had a gap of 1'03 to the peleton which had caught the rest of the breakaway. Can Quintero descend his way to the stage victory and overall race lead?
Of course he can!
Albasini takes 2nd for UBS while Monfort secures 3rd.
