José Miguel Fernández (sports director): We arrive with our eight most qualified riders to face a race like La Vuelta a España. It is a very compensated team to try to perform well in all areas. On the one hand, we have Aberasturi or Aranburu, who have proven to be at a very high level In the last Tour of Burgos. Jon is a purer sprinter, while Alex is better at the finals with more demanding climb. On the other hand, Lastra, Serrano, Chernetskii or Gonçalves will take care of give us presence in those breaks that may reach and will reach the finish line. Finally, Cristian and Pardilla are our climbers, which will surely shine in the mountain stages. We have a plus of confidence thanks to the performance in Vuelta Burgos. The Vuelta is a very different and much more demanding race than Burgos, but these last results always make us dream a little stronger with a stage victory in La Vuelta a España This will be the main objective for us and we will fight every day, without forgetting that we must be protagonists as much as possible. |
