Ibán salutes Vuelta homecoming

The Urkiola delivered on its promise yesterday with exceptional racing and an exceptional turn-out of fans. Among the many thousands cheering the riders on on the mythical climb, was Ibán Mayo, writes DEIA. And like the majority of fans present, he was overjoyed. "These two days have been incredible", he told the Basque daily. "Yesterday (Friday) was awesome and today (Saturday) was awesome. It's the first time I've seen the Vuelta in the Basque Country and I can see people have been waiting for this moment. A lot of people have dressed in orange and, even though it'll be hard for Euskaltel to win again today, this is just fantastic".
