Stage and overall lead for brilliant Koldo Gil

The first stage of the Basque Cycling Contest Euskal Bizikleta began in Eibar and finished in Arrigorriaga. There were several attempts throughout the stage, but there was no clear breakaway.

As the race advanced, small groups formed here and there with little differences until the Saunier Duval took over the lead of the bunch to hinder more attacks.

However, the Euskaltel-Euskadi changed the rhythm of the race at the Zaratamo ramps for David Herrero's attack. Nevertheless, a brilliant Koldo Gil followed and passed him to arrive at the finish on his own.

The group of favourites arrived second six seconds behind the Navarran runner of the team Saunier Duval.
