Orbea youngster retires

Orbea rider Joseba Larralde has decided to retire from the sport, it was unveiled today at Orbea's official presentation in Mallabia. The soon-to-be 25-year-old has struggled to make an impression during his years with Euskaltel's feeder-team, but no reason was given for his somewhat surprising decision to hang up the wheels just a couple of months into the new season. Euskaltel's website writes: "he's decided to approach life in a different way and to look for work in other areas".
