Antón continues improving

By Monika Prell

Igor Antón, the young hope of Euskaltel Euskadi, was able to escape with some strong riders in stage nine of the Vuelta a España, and while the move was not successful, it was a strong effort for the 24 year-old, and bodes well for his Vuelta. "I am happy about the stage I rode. We began very fast, we climbed the Monrépos very fast. There were many attacks, and some dangerous riders like [José Ángel Gómez] Marchante or David López were in a breakaway group, so it was important to be represented in this group."
