Fundación to pay tribute to Cabedo

The Fundación Ciclista Euskadi's annual Fiesta de la Bici on Sunday will be distinctly different from the editions of the past years, as fallen rider Víctor Cabedo will be paid homage to.

The day of celebrating everything bike related in Derio, Bizkaia, will see riders from all three of the Fundación's teams, Euskaltel, Orbea and Naturgas Energía, line up en mass. Paralympic champion cyclist Alfonso Cabello will also be honoured, and the Fundación will also take the opportunity to show their support for a pair of local children (six and eight years old) suffering from rare diseases.

As ever though, the Fiesta will be mainly about promoting the use of the bike, president Miguel Madariaga said.

"Our main objective is that the families get to enjoy a nice day and that we promote the use of the bike for the smallest ones."
