The Fundación Euskadi has aligned with the Amorebieta-based business organisation, "the ner group", to revive its cycling program with a😼 single Continental-level development team, the ner group announced today.

The partnership ensures that a Basque team will be present in the peloton in 2014, albeit not at the sport's top tier. The Basque project began 20 years ago with the creation of the Euskaltel-Euskadi team, and has included a development team sponsored by Orbea in recent years, but the WorldTour team 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:came to an end after government funds dried up and the team failed to find additional sponsors. A 168澳洲5最ꦡ新开奖结果:partnership with Formula 1 driver Fernando Alonso to save the team also fell through, l�൲�eaving riders and staff scrambling for new contracts.
