Koldo Fernández maps out season goals

Koldo Fernández will in 2013 embark on his second season with US team Garmin-Sharp, and the Vuelta a España will once again form the crux of the sprinter's season. Before that, though, a trip to Malaysia awaits.

According to BiciCiclismo, these are the races set to feature on his schedule for the first half of the season:

• Challenge Mallorca (3-7 Feb)
• Tour du Haut Var (16-17 Feb)
• Tour of Langkawi (21 Feb-3 March)
• Volta a Catalunya (18-24 March)
• Vuelta al Pais Vasco (1-6 April)/Circuit de la Sarthe (2-5 April)
• Tour de Romandie (23-28 April)/Italian classics
• Tour de Picardie (10-12 May)
• Bayern Rundfahrt (22-26 May) (possibly)
• Critérium du Dauphiné (2-9 June)

The article goes on to claim that Fernández, without a win in over two years, will have plenty of chances to chase personal glory, except for at Mallorca where he'll aim to help Tyler Farrar snag a early-season triumph.
