The tour of the Basque Country hit their first mountain stage today and Lawson Craddock had a strong performance. Craddock found himself 15th today just 22 seconds behind winner Mikel Landa of Spain. Yesterday 51 riders had finished with the same time but Landa is now alone atop the overall standings after winning today’s stage by a full second.

Peter Stetina had a good 46th place finish, 1:37 back, and was the only other American in the top 100 today. Stetina is now 84th for the event and 10:39 behind the leader. Larry Warbasse is still in the top 100 overall, 9:47 back in 79th.

Stage three on Tuesday will be 120 miles and a medium-mountain stage.
