Colombian Nairo Quintana has won the Tour of the Basque Country after finishing second in the 24km time trial that rounded off the six-stage event. The Movistar rider started the day six seconds behind compatriot Sergio Henao (Sky) but he finished 40 seconds behind Quintana to miss out even on a place on the podium.
Australian Richie Porte (Sky) and Slovenia's Simon Spilak (Katusha) took second and third in the overall standings receptively. As expected, Tony Martin of the Omega Pharma-Quick Step team took the stage victory in a time of 35min 5secs. The German was 17 seconds quicker than Quintana, with Spaniard Benat Intxausti (Movistar) coming in third a further 15 seconds back.
