Bizkarra 5th in Larrabetzu

Mikel Bizkarra took a good 5th for Naturgas at yesterday's Memorial Jesús Loroño in Larrabetzu. Disappointingly, though, was the fact that overall Torneo Sub23 leader Pello Bilbao failed to finish the race. At the time of writing I don't know why, but probably he suffered a crash or something. Jesús Herrada of the mighty Caja Rural team took yet another win; boding well for his participation in the upcoming Tour l'Avenir alongside Orbea riders Landa and Izagirre. As mentioned, Bizkarra finished up fifth at eight seconds, while Igor Merino was 12th, Aitor Ocampos 15th, Jon Larrinaga 22nd and Urzti Legarra 25th.
