Vuelta a España team

Igor Gonzalez de Galdeano spoke to the Basque daily Diario Vasco yesterday and talked about the team for the Vuelta in September. He said that there are five riders who are certain for a starting spot, while the rest are up for grabs for those who can impress in the pre-Vuelta races. The five riders he talked of was Samu, who'll captain the team, Haimar, Iñigo Landaluze, Iñaki Isasi and Koldo Fernández. Great to see Koldo in the squad; had been expecting him to ride the Vuelta for a while. That leaves four vacant spots. Iván Velasco, Aitor Hernández, Markel Irizar and Dioni Galparsoro are some of the riders that´ll be hoping to ride, but according to Galdeano, there are several other rider in the running as well. I had hoped Igor would ride it, but it sure doesn´t look like it now.
