A Basque Tour de Swisse

This week it was Aitor Gonzalez's turn to win an event for Euskaltel Euskadi.

The Basque rider who held the 4th place at the beginning of the last stage just 39 seconds behind the yellow jersey Michael Rogers, obliterated the Australian when he relentlesly attacked at the Furka Pass.

Aitor ended up winning the stage and the overall, beating Michael Rogers and Jan Ullrich, who finished third.

Will Euskaltel Euskadi take the tour this year?

With riders like Iban Mayo, Haimar Zubeldia, Aitor Gonzalez and Inigo Landaluze it would look like a sure bet.

But then there is the special mix that a certain cyclist is allowed to drink, to "keep cancer at bay".
