Samuel Sanchez ce l’ha fatta: ha vinto il Giro dei Paesi Baschi edizione 2012. L’atleta dell’ Euskaltel-Euskadi ha dominato sotto la pioggia la cronometro finale di Oñati (18,9 km) e si è aggiudicato così la tanto desiderata vittoria finale.
Niente da fare per Joaquim Rodriguez (Team Katusha), giunto solo 6° oggi, che si deve accontentare del secondo gradino del podio. Terzo posto finale per Bauke Mollema, l’olandese della Rabobank.
Ottima prova per il nostro Damiano Cunego (Lampre-ISD), 5° oggi e 4° nella generale. Tony Martin (Omega Pharma-Quick Step) e Marco Pinotti (BMC Racing Team) si sono confermati ottimi specialisti contro il tempo, ma il tedesco non è riuscito a colmare il distacco dai primi. Bravissimo anche Moreno Moser (Liquigas-Cannondale), giunto 9°, che va ad aggiudicarsi la maglia di miglior atleta Under23.
