No Erviti for Euskaltel

Sought-after Caisse d'Epargne all-rounder Imanol Erviti will NOT join Euskaltel this year. It was reported a few weeks back that Galdeano was sounding out the availability of the young Navarran, but, after Movistar stepped in and made sure the team will stay afloat, he's penned a new deal with Unzue's outift. Erstwhile Euskaltel rider David López Garcia, still a very popular rider among Euskaltel aficionados, is also in negotiations over a new deal, while Xabier Zandio has yet to make up his mind on what to do in 2011. If Zandio was to decide against staying with Unzue, Galdeano is likely to jump at the chance of singing the versatile and strong 33-year-old.
