Injury report

Several Euskaltel riders are out of action nursing various injuries at the moment. Earlier this week the team gave an update on how they're all doing:

• Mikel Landa (broken collarbone): Out since March 5, he's been on the rollers for a couple of weeks and is nearing a return to competition. No set return-date.
  
• Peio Bilbao (elbow fracture): Cast removed five days ago, has been on the rollers for ten days. No set return-date.
  
• Pablo Urtasun (battered and bruised): After having to forego the Ardennes classics, versatility man Urtasun will be back on action this weekend in Llodio and Rioja.
  
• Miguel Minguez (10cm gash on right arm): Taking a few days off after being patched up, the climber is back in training. No set return-date for him either.
  
• Romain Sicard (knee pain): Will take a full month off the bike in the hope of getting rid of the recurring pain to his knees caused by a change of shoes at the start of the season. Should be back in late-May.
