Olazabal Eceiza, a Basque refugee held under house arrest in Brittany in northern France, was on his way to Donibane Lohizune when he was detained for being outside the area where he was confined by the French government.
IK referred to France as "the pseudo homeland of human rights" and said the French state is responsible for the disapperance of one of its members, Jean Louis Larre, for not having ordered an investigation.
IK said it wanted to avenge the disapperance of one of its members by the gendarmerie, and the conviction of two of its leaders last month for killing a gendarme after 17 years jailed without a trial.

 Buber's Basque Page: The Great Running Traditions of the Basques
At this time, at least in England and France, and it seems in Spain, it was common for aristocrats to employ runners on foot to carry messages or run beside their coaches.
Henry VI of France came from the Bearn/Navarre region and perhaps it is no coincidence that in his reign in 1592 one of the first recorded footraces took place at Rheims over a distance of 82km.
The Basque cyclist Miguel Indurain, five time winner of the Tour de France, was born in Villava, Navarra which historically was part of the wider Basque region.

At the end of the stage between Lekunberri and Lazkao, which was shortened from 88 to 72 kilometers, the likeable Berliner finished 53 seconds ahead of the Spanish-Russian chasing trio Iban Mayo (Euskaltel), Denis Menchov (Illes Balears-Banesto) and David Etxebarria (also Euskaltel).

Beyond the quality of the entertainment or the sumptuous medieval costumes worn by the craftsmen for the occasion, what makes the operation so original is that these markets are entirely organised for interested municipalities by a cooperative in Navarra run by 8 food producers: "Napar Bideak" (The Routes of Navarra).
Established in the municipality's business district, the Centre houses under one roof several relay workshops for newly created businesses, shared administrative facilities, training and conference rooms, etc. Much of the equipment was financed by LEADER and CEDERNA-GARALUR, which was appointed by the municipality to manage the structure.
The action is continuing under Measure C of LEADER[5] through cooperation between the groups of Noroeste de Murcia and Prepirineo, in Spain, and Puysaye and Avranchin in France.

It's been a great weekend for Lotto, with Rik Verbrugghe winning two stages of the Criterium International and the overall classification, and Andre Tchmil victorious in Saturday's GP E3-Harelbeke.
Lotto is therefore currently looking like the strongest team not yet selected for the Tour de France, and it would be surprising if the Tour's organiser's don't recognise this when the next wildcard entries are announced at the end of April.
Of the other significant teams still unselected for the Tour, Mercury-Viatel has also had a strong early season, with Peter Van Pegem's win at Kuurne-Bruxelles-Kuurne and strong showing in Paris-Nice likely to catch the eye of Tour organisers, who may also consider the publicity benefits outside Europe of having two American teams in the Tour.
