Arberas - Our goal is a stage win

The Euskadi team will look to build on their recent successes in France this weekend.

The Continental-ranked team will line-up in the Boucles de la Mayenne four-day race, running from Thursday through Sunday.

"On Thursday we'll line up in a 4,5km prologue that we know well from last year. Our goal is to perform well so that we can get a good result overall", sports director Aritz Arberas told the team's website.

"After that, three typically French stages, with short, sharp climbs, await us. Our objectives are clear: get a stage win and a good GC placing, not forgetting the sub-23 rankings. We'll work hard to make it happen", he said.

The team: Jon Larrinaga, Aritz Bagües, Illart Zuazubiskar, Unai Iparraguirre, Haritz Orbe and Mikel Iturria.
