Cabedo one for the future

Orbea hotshot Víctor Cabedo has been picked to represent his country at the upcoming Tour de l'Avenir, reports BiciCiclismo. José Luis de Santos, the national team coach, picked the Vuelta a Asturias stage-winner along with Gari Bravo of Caja Rural, Orbea-bound Omar Fraile of Seguros Bilbao, Jesús Ezquerra of Cueva el Soplao, Víctor Martín of Diputacíon de Avila and Jordi Símon of Caja Rural's sub-23 team. The race will be run from september 4-10, and Cabedo is likely to be on the lookout for stage-wins and breakaways. The race has served Orbea well in the last few years. Sicard famously took the overall crown two years ago, while Landa placed fifth last year, so Cabedo has got his work cut out for him.
