Haimar 2nd in cyclosportive

Several Euskaltel riders are honing their form for the upcoming season on the Fuerteventura islands. Markel, Haimar and Iñigo, together with several other Basques trying to escape the rain and cold weather back home, among them former Euskaltel riders Mikel Pradera and David López Garcia, are getting in the necessary miles down there these days. On Friday the all took part in a local cyclosportive race, named the Dunas de Corralejo-Kilómetros contra el Cáncer. Haimar grabbed second spot, and let's hope that's a sign of what's to come from him next year. How the others fared I don't know, but as it's a cyclosportive, it doesn't really matter anyway to be honest. The important thing is that they're getting into decent shape, and especially so for Haimar who'll be targeting many of the early-season races.
