• As mentioned earlier, Euskaltel will present it's 2011 roster to the public in the Teatro Principal in San Sebastián on Thursday the 3rd of February.
• The Euskaltel riders and Galdeano and Madariaga will spend the day tomorrow visiting the new Anoeta stadium in San Sebastián, home to Real Sociedad, before visiting the famed basilica in Arantzazu. 18 years ago, the Euskadi team, as it was called back then, kicked off it's maiden season from this exact basilica, so it will be a sort of homecoming to celebrate the longevity of the team. After the ceremony, the riders will ride back to the city, where they'll stay overnight for Thursday's presentation.
• Samu Sánchez has revealed he'll be going all out for the overall win in both the Paris-Nice and the Vuelta al País Vasco this year. Galdeano reckons this year provides him with his best shot yet at taking the elusive País Vasco crown, a crown that's eluded the team since Ibán Mayo's win way back in 2003.
