Naturgas a go for Navarra

Naturgas Energía have unveiled their team for the five-day Vuelta a Navarra starting tomorrow.

According to the team's website, the following seven riders will be present: Karl Baudron, Víctor Etxeberria, Alain González, Mikel Iturria, Jon Larrinaga, Javier Francisco Martín and Alain Santamaría.

The team will start out with the stated goal of securing a stage win, as DS Iñigo Urretxua pointed out: "It's a hard race with elite riders at a high level. The goal will be to learn the ropes in races like these and, why not, fight for a win".

Several of the team's riders, namely Larrinaga, González, Etxeberría, Baudron and Iturria, have shown a high level of form of late, not least when Alain González took the team's first win of the year on Saturday. They'll face stiff competition, though, above all from former pro Arkaitz Durán who bagged yet another victory on Sunday.
