Euskadi champs coming up

Naturgas have a big weekend ahead of them. Tomorrow, Saturday that is, they'll aim to defend their title in the Euskadi time trial championship, before they'll try to do the same in Sunday's road race. Last year Igor Merino and Pello Bilbao ensured Naturgas went home with both prizes, and the team is well equipped to repeat both those wins this time around. In the time trial, Merino, Martínez, Chetout and González will represent the reds, whilst they'll be joined by Ardaiz, Á Bilbao, Ocampos and Legarra the following day. My bet? Merino for time trial gold and Rory Martínez for road race silver.
