Strong Euskaltel line-up for Tirreno-Adriatico


Euskaltel will send the following 8 riders to the 7-day Pro Tour stage-race Tirreno-Adriatico in Italy starting on Wednesday: Unai Etxebarria, Koldo Fernandez, Jon Bru, Beñat Albizuri, Antton Luengo, Iban Mayoz, Aketza Peña and Aitor Hernandez. With most of the riders already in convincing shape, this seems like a strong Euskaltel team on paper at least. According to www.fundacioneuskadi.com, Koldo will not surprisingly be the man for the sprints. Koldo will have the help of fellow fast-men Beñat Albizuri, Aitor Hernandez and Jon Bru on the flat and rolling stages. Unai Etxebarria will have a "free-card" to play in most stages. It`s expected that Unai will play his tricks on the slightly hilly stages, like he did with success in the recent Trofeo Calvia. Antton Luengo, Iban Mayoz and Aketza Peña will try their luck in breakaways mostly.
