Galdeano to fill in

Euskaltel won't bring in another Sports Director to fill departing Jon Odriozola's place. In stead they'll take a man from their own ranks, namely General Secretary Igor Gonzalez de Galdeano. He will, together with Gorka Gerrikagoitia, be the main Sports Director next year, with Xavier Carbayeda, Alex Díaz and Josu Larrazabal all helping them out. Alex Díaz is currently directing the highly successful Naturgas Energia youth team, but whether he'll leave that post to help out at Euskaltel, or whether he'll stay on, I don't know.
