  • According to various Basque newspapers, Igor Antón will make his return to competition at the revamped Clasica de Ordizia at the 25ht of July. Antón, who's building up for a tilt at the Vuelta crown, has not raced since the Giro ended back in May. The new route, which features more climbs to avoid the customary sprint finish, is likely to suit the Galdakao native to a tee.
