As I mentioned breifly in my previous post, Alvaro Gonzalez de Galdeano Aranzabal (left) is the new sporting director at Pro Conti team Orbea. Yes, he is Igor`s brother, and was a very good rider himself once. After the 2004 season, he put an end to his career as a rider. His most memorable season was 2000, when he became national champion on the road, and one a stage apiece in the Vuelta and the Giro. He rode four years for Euskaltel, and his appointment as Euskaltel`s feeder-club director, might be a signal that Alvaro may join the Euskaltel bord in a few years or so. He was a talented rider, and certainly seems to know what he`s doing in management, so this will probably be profitable for both Orbea and Euskaltel. Seeing Alvaro leading Euskaltel in a few years ,together with his brother Igor, would be awesome I think.
