Nieve set to join team

24-year-old Mikel Nieve Iturlade of Orbea-Oreka SDA will join Euskaltel next year. The hotly-tipped transfer of the talented climber was today revealed in Basque daily El Correo. Mikel has impressed greatly this year, especially on the climbs, so I'm looking forward to seing him around next year. Though, he's not really that young any more, so I'm curious to see how good this guy will actually be. But if the past two year's results are anything to go by, we're in for a treat...
