Aketza Peña and Aranaga clarification

Contrary to what I've previously posted at the blog, Andoni Aranaga has not had troubles with his weight. Miguel Madariaga stated in an interview that Andoni's weight has never been an issue, and that he's in fact quite skinny at the moment. He didn't get his contract renewed because, simply, he's not come up with the goods.

When it comes to Aketza Peña, he's still waiting for his B-sample result. What is happening to B-samples these days? Anyway, he won't be around either next year, as he's not produced the kind of form the Euskaltel heads had been expecting.

And, last but not least, another few riders face the daunting task of having to find another team next year. According to Monika Prell at Cylingnews, "the team is currently reviewing the future of some of its other riders and will decided whether they renew more contracts over the coming months". Wonder who that might be...
