The Kaiku connection

When the 2007 season starts, 4 former Kaiku`s will ride in the orange of Euskaltel. It`s quite amazing that four riders from one team will ride again for the same team in modern-day cycling. Three Kaiku`s of the 2006 season, namily Jorge Azanza, Yon Bru and Dioni Galparsoro, will join up with former Kaiku Andoni Aranaga Azkune, who`s already spent one season with Euskaltel. Andoni Aranaga has had an ok season, considering it`s his first season in the Pro Tour. But he will hopefully take another step forward next season. All four riders are gifted and solid riders, so no doubt they are welcomed with open arms at Euskaltel. The Euskaltel heads have high hopes for each one of them, and hopefully they will enjoy the coming season. Though, I would have liked to see another Kaiku rider riding for Euskaltel. That would be Pablo Urtazun Perez....
