Samu to head Andalucía charge

Euskaltel will honour one of the few Spanish stage-races left on the calendar with a star-studded line-up next month. The Vuelta a Andalucía will be held as normal over five days from the 19th to the 23rd of February, and the team will look to put their mark on the event with seven riders from the top shelf.

Samuel Sánchez will lead a team comprised of Igor Antón, Mikel Landa, Egoi Martínez, Juan José Oroz, Pablo Urtasun and Gorka Verdugo, writes esciclismo.es. The riders will take in one individual time trial and several relatively flat stages suited for the sprinters for a total of 635,4 kilometres.
