Naturgas for Copa de España

Fresh off a truncated but nonetheless taxing Tres Días (or should that be two?) de Álava, a Naturgas Energía septet will continue their search for a first win of the year in tomorrow's LXXIX Clásica Santa Cruz in Legazpi, a Copa de España-ranked race.

According to www.fundacioneuskadi.com, the hilly one-day race will see the following riders line up: Damien García, Jon Larrinaga, Mikel Iturria, Karl Baudron, Loïc Chetout, Alain González and Victor Etxeberria.

"It'll be an important indicator of form looking towards the Vuelta a Bidasoa (9-12 of May), one of our main season goals. We'll try to be competitive", DS Iñigo Urretxua told the Fundación's website.
