Aitor Hernández to leave Euskaltel

Aitor Hernández will leave Euskaltel at the end of the current season. The versatile 28-year-old has been told by team management that his contract will not be renewed and that his future lies elsewhere. Aitor joined Euskaltel in 2005, signing from the Italian LPR team, but has failed to notch a single win in his six years with the team. He's come close on several occasions though, and he's displayed some good climbing and time trialling skills at times, so I'm a tad surprised he's leaving to be fair. He's 28, he's always active and is quite the decent rider. At this moment in time there's no news on where Aitor will continue his career.
