Home favourite wins stage 11

Spanish star Egoi Martinez took stage 11 of the Tour of Spain, finishing almost one minute ahead of countryman Inigo Landaluze.
The Discovery Channel rider dropped his rivals in the day's main breakaway - Landaluze and Volodymyr Gustov on the run into the finish at Burgos and came home to take the stage, although Alejandro Valverde Belmonte retains his race leader's gold jersey.

The day began without Russian Denis Menchov - the defending champion had no energy left to complete the race and decided to abandon.
