Caisse d'Epargne going for stage wins

With José Ivan Gutierrez Palacios finishing 29th today at 3'46, slipping to 21st on GC, Caisse d'Epargne-Illes Balears has abandoned any thoughts of a high general classification. "We lost plenty of time in the first mountain stage, where Iván Gutiérrez was the only one who was able to follow the favourites‘ rhythm," declared team director Eusebio Unzue. "We have to forget the general classification and focus on the stage wins. From now on, we will give it all to go and win one of them!"
