VPV stage 2: Samu 5th, Amets in the break

The second stage of the Basque Tour was an okay one for the team. Amets went on the attack early on with Rogers and Ramírez and clocked up enough points on the climbs so sit third with 17 points, 3 adrift of leader Rabuñal, in that particular competition. The break was naturally reeled back in, and not long after Beñat crashed and hit the deck. Luckily he got up quite quickly and managed to rejoin the fast-moving peloton just in time go maintain his high GC placing. Samu looked in descent shape on the gently rising climb to the line and grabbed a good 5th place. Beñat, Iván and Egoi all managed to come in with the first pack as well, while Alan and JJ ended up 2:14 back and Rubén 2:42. Amets, clearly hurting from his day-long escape, crossed the line 12:02 back.

After the stage Samu spoke to the media. "Today was different from yesterday and I felt better today", he said. "Given that there was a slightly uphill finish I entered the sprint for the win. Obviously our objectives have changed after what happened yesterday in Zierbena, but today it was clear that I've still got a lot to say in this race. This race has always been good to me, and I'm not going to throw in the towel just because I had one bad day. We'll fight for stage-wins. Our rivals are good, you could see that from the results today, but I'm sure more opportunities will come along and, when they do, I'll grab them with both hands."
