No Vuelta for Samu

As expected, Samu will not be lining up in Sevilla for the start of the Vuelta a España later in the year. Samu confirmed this in an interview with Basque daily el Diario Vasco today, and also added he's highly unlikely to take part in the Worlds in Geelong. Speaking of the Spanish GT, Samu said 'That's one for the young guys', probably referring to Igor, who'll lead the team, and the rumoured inclusion of a certain Romain Sicard. Pablo and Koldo will probably line up in Spain as well, but more on that later.
