Two races to go and a rather lacklustre 2008 season will come to a close for Euskaltel. First up is the Italian one-day semi-classic Giro del Piemonte on Thursday, followed by one of professional cycling's biggest races; the Giro di Lombardia. Euskaltel will field the same 8 riders in both races and Samu will of course lead the charge. He'll be accompanied by Iñigo, Javier, Aitor H, Markel, Iván, Josu and Alán. Would be great to end the season on a high as, except for Samu's Olympic heroics, there hasn't been too much to celebrate. Aupa!

If Samu wins Lombardia it will be a more than good season actually.
ReplyDeleteYou think? I disagree. Remember, Samu's Olympic win wasn't really an Euskaltel win, it was a personal win.
ReplyDeleteYeah, maybe. But I also count it as an Euskaltel win, especially because Samu adjusted his whole Euskaltelseason for this race. So I think Euskaltel deserves to get some honour.
ReplyDeleteBut oke, maybe I am too positive again :D
Well we do need some positive-thinking guys like you in these testing times for cycling don't you think?
ReplyDeleteI partly agree with arnout, maybe not "more than good season", but a win in one of the big monuments would save the season for sure...
