Arberas pleased with Essor Basque ride

Naturgas Energia DS Aritz Arberas expressed himself satisifed with his young riders' Essor Basque performance. Speaking to la Fundación Euskadi's homepage, the former Seguros Bilbao rider said: "The race was held in France, and they ride in a different way over here. We lacked that experience. But we're very pleased with the results, as Grijalba was 12th the first day, and Barbero and Larrinaga 14th and 16th respectively the second day. All this means we're off to a good start this year, and it confirms that we're doing well."
