Matxin:"Iban and Gibo Giro leaders"

Saunier Duval director Joxean "Matxin" Fernandes stated on his teams presentation today that Iban will be a co-leader for the Giro d`Italia. "In the Giro, Simoni and Mayo will be our leaders", "Matxin" said. Most people thought that Iban would be riding support for Gibo in his home race, but it now seems that they are on equal terms as far as leadership-duties are assumed. Great news for Iban; being team leader in the most mountainous GT must be a dream come true.
