Two more years for Orbea

Euskaltel's feeder-team Orbea will stay in the peloton for at least another couple of years. The bike manufacturer has informed Madariaga and co. that they'll be around for a little while longer, which obviously is great news given that year after year a couple of talented riders make the jump to Euskaltel. Mikel Landa and Jon Izagirre will make that jump at the end of the current season, following in the footsteps of Nieve, Velasco, Rubén and Alan Pérez, Aramendía, Oroz, Castroviejo and Sicard to name but a few.
