Izagirre dreaming of Euskaltel

Basque wonderkid Gorka Izagirre has revealed his desire of one day riding for Euskaltel. The 20-year-old, now with the Seguros Bilbao outfit, has risen many eyebrows the last two years for his outstanding performances in the Spanish youth categories. Winner of four races last year, he's destined for a glorious future according to the experts, and if Gorka gets it his way, that future will be with Euskaltel. "Euskaltel-Euskadi is the team I want to ride for", he told El Diario Vasco, "it's my home-team". I would love to see this talented all-rounder at Euskaltel in a couple of years. I've been impressed with his riding, especially this year, and he seems to have got what it takes to succeed at the highest level no doubt. And we're suddenly empty of Gorkas on the team, and that's not good. There should always be at least one Gorka on Euskaltel. Aupa Gorka!
