Igor struggles with achilles injury

Igor, Euskaltel's leader along with Mikel for the upcoming Vuelta al País Vasco, is struggling with an achilles injury these days. He first noticed the pain in his achilles in the Paris-Nice, and has struggled with it ever since. He didn't feel any pain though on Sunday in the GP Llodio, but the pain has come back while training the last few days. This has prompted speculation about his participation in the Vuelta al País Vasco, but Igor Gonzalez de Galdeano is confident Igor will take to the start in Legazpia on Monday. Time will tell, but it looks like the odds are favouring him luckily.
