Crazy Basques

This week I have been watching streaming coverage of Pays Basque.

Frankly, it is taking a little getting work getting used to the graphics used during the race. All the French, Italian, Belgian terms that I am used to do not apply.

Basque is truly a bizarre language. Usually, you can relate some words to an english equivalent. Not so with Basque. For instance, the leaders of the race are "Lasterketa burua" Huh? Very strange. Near as I can tell a chase group in "Tropel burua". I suppose a "burua" is a group but I am not certain.

I wonder if Google Translate has Basque as a language.
