Matxin happy for Iban

Saunier Duval sports director Joxean "Matxin" Fernández, who brought Iban to Saunier, was understandably happy with his new rider`s win yesterday. "Matxin" was full of praise for Iban when speaking to the Diario Vasco last night, and expressed his faith in him. Here`s what he said: "I think Iban`s win is something different (from Saunier Duval`s other Giro stage-wins). I really liked Piepoli`s win. Simoni is Simoni, while Ricco` is very young. Iban has been going through some bad times, but I`ve always kept my faith in him. Iban will accomplish great things with us. Though, he needed the win to boost his morale, and I`m sure he`ll give us a lot of joy the next years".
