With Euskaltel's comparatively small roster, both in terms of quantity and depth, I doubt it's ever going to happen though.Magnushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02190510412001563563noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35441987.post-1625280899012110872011-07-26T04:11:20.446+02:002011-07-26T04:11:20.446+02:00It def. would be tough.
