Sabino Angoitia's son joins Contador team

Alberto Contador's new junior team, Specialized-Fundación Alberto Contador, will have one Basque rider in its ranks next year, and it's none other than the son of former pro and Saunier Duval sports director Sabino Angoitia.

Iosu, who's been impressive this year despite riding without a team, will join 13 other riders from the whole of Spain at Contador's newly created outfit in 2013, to be lead by former Spanish team coach José Luis de Santos.

Sabino Angoitia, pictured here alongside fellow Basques Ibán Mayoz and Aitor Pérez Arrieta, was a sports director at Joxean "Matxin" Fernández and Mauro Gianetti's originally-titled Saunier Duval-Prodir team for a number of years before the team folded, and also enjoyed a seven-year career as a professional rider in the 80s.
