Konyshev wins first real bunch sprint
By Martin Hardie in Abadiño
After three days of hanging on to the end of a soaring peloton, the Italian based LPR squadra picked up a welcome reward when the veteran Dmitri Konyshev took out a tight street sprint in the central Matiena shopping district of Abadiño this morning. Konyshev was challenged by Paternina's Ion del Rio but the wily Russian had good position and legs to hold off the local rider and double stage winner Miguel Angel Martin Perdiguero.
Today's morning event was the first in which we have seen a bunch sprint in this year's Euskal. The peloton motored down the road from the day's only categorised climb, the Cat. 3 Kanpanzar, to suck up the escape of Boulangère's Mathieu Sprick and Illes Balears' Aitor Osa and Mikel Pradera. The three had managed to leave the peloton just before it passed through the town of Loyola, birthplace of the founder of the Jesuit order, Francisco Loyola. Over the brief stage they augmented their advantage up to a maximum of 2'30 before the race skirted the mountain range of which the Kanpanzar forms a part. Sprick got away from his companions and crossed the summit first. The Baleares pair were being pursued by Gorka Gonzalez, and behind him, the peloton.
On the fast run in to the finish through Elorrio the hunt was on in earnest and dragged in all three in time for Saunier, Baque, Paternina, Lampre and LPR to try and position riders for the switch in direction and remaining kilometre and a half to the finish. The LPR riders, who have really been suffering on the climbs the last few days, got their leader into prime position and launched him down the right hand side of the road for his win.
The peloton finished more or less intact and eyes are now being cast towards this afternoon's 15 kilometre time trial to see if Liberty's grip on the race can be loosened.
