Ibán present at celebration

Ibán has, for the first time in quite a while, showed himself publically. Yesterday he took part in his amateur team Café Baqué's 30-year celebration alongside the likes of Aitor Galdós, Mikel Zarrabeitia and good friend David Etxebarria. Café Baqué is widely recognised as one of the world's all-time best amateur teams, turning a more-than-healthy number of young hopefuls into stars on the big stage. Ibán spent two highly successful years with the team after leaving Banesto's youth team at the end of 1996. During his two-year spell at Baqué, who was back then led by Sabino Angoitia, Ibán's right hand and DS at Saunier Duval, he accumulated no less than 13 wins. No wonder he still has feelings for the team then.
