Again, the Euskadi Foundationwith its sponsors, confirming its commitment to homegrown talent and paving the way for a career among the world’s elite.
Unai Zubeldia: “Since I was young I have been inspired by the Euskaltel-Euskadi cyclists, I have encouraged them on the roadsides or on television on countless occasions and therefore the ability to wear orange means to somehow continue that wheel turned and hopefully from now on From now on I will also be able to inspire men and women from all over the Basque Country. However, I believe that this project is more than the professional team and in this sense I want mention the two years at Laboral Kutxa that served me to meet colleagues and amazing supporters and also learn from them as a rider and as a person.”
And he added, “I personally define myself as a complete and versatile cyclist, I am a good roller who defends himself in the mountains and has power for what is to come. I also do not want to set any goals for the next two seasons. I want to go step by step , adapt to the category, help my teammates while I learn from them, and hopefully argue with some success Finally, I want to thank everyone who helped me make this dream come true, friends, family and especially the Oriako school in Toulouse”.
