The coming season looms as a very important one for the Basque squad, with sponsoꦏr Euskaltel due to end🌠 its arrangement with the team at the end of 2012 so results are a higher priority than ever.
"We know Romain Sicard, Gorka Izagirre, Pablo Urtasun and Ruben Perez have abandoned the bad weather in Northern Spain to optimise their training by moving to the Costa Blanca to train," explained Tour Down Under Race ൩Director Mike Turtur. "This is with the objective of starting the 2012 season in good form, so it will be interesting to see what impact this has."
Among 𝐆those keen to get the season underway in the right fashion will be former under 23 road world champion and Tour de l'Avenir winner Sicard🧔 with troublesome leg weakness keeping him away from racing for most of the season. Sicard made his debut for Euskaltel-Euskadi at the 2011 Tour Down Under.
The team's best overall finisher in 2011 at the Adelaide e꧑vent, Izagirre (12th), will be keen to im🌳prove in his second showing and Turtur tips the 24-year-old as "one to watch."
