Orbea ready for Mallorca

Orbea will, like Euskaltel, take part in the 19th edition of the Challenge Ciclista a Mallorca, starting this coming Sunday. The team will send Ion Izagirre, Beñat Urain, Andoni Blázquez, Jon Aberasturi, Noel Martín, Adrian Sáez de Arregi, Aritz Etxebarria, Xabier Zabalo, Mikel Illundai and Ricardo Garcia. So, effectively, everyone but Joseba Larralde and Mikel Landa will go. The 10 riders will no doubt look to animate the race, so expect to see them off the front in search of the right break.
