Lacklustre prologue for Euskaltel
It was a bad opening to the ENECO Tour for Euskaltel today. The 5,1 km prologue kick-started the Pro Tour stage-race, but sadly for all riders, the weather and the rain played an important part in deciding the results. Mikel, who for sure had expected to fight it out for the top positions, started under pouring rain and took no risks logically. He ended up 109th, a full 29 seconds down, while early-starter Unai Etxebarria finished highest up in the rankings in 35th place, no more than 15 seconds back. Iban Mayoz got 55th, at 19 seconds, Beñat was 73rd, 22 seconds down, Rubén finished a second back in 79th place.Aitor Galdos came in, like Mikel, 29 down, while Jorge was 39 back and Joseba 44.

did you actually read the text?
Doubt it, but something tells me he won't bother. To say that a Pro Tour team is a "shame" is ridiculous...
When you say that Euskaltel is a shame, then you have to add that some French teams also are a shame... :P
No matter, ok, they are not the best ones to do TTT, but what do you expect? That has been like this always, and it won't change.
